Indulge your sweet tooth and support your bone health with this Tahini & Fig "Caramel" Dip, a creative dessert that packs a surprising 450 mg of calcium. This recipe reimagines snacking by blending the creamy, nutty richness of tahini with the natural, honey-like sweetness of dried figs to create a thick, velvet-smooth caramel consistency.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Tahini Paste 45g
- 40 g Finely chopped Dried Figs 3-4
- 1 teaspoon Chia Seeds for topping
- Sliced Apple or Banana For serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the tahini and chopped figs together. The natural stickiness and sweetness from the figs will blend with the tahini to create a caramel-like consistency.
- Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes. This allows the figs to soften slightly and meld with the tahini.
- Transfer the “caramel” dip to a bowl. Sprinkle with chia seeds and serve with slices of apple or banana for dipping.
