Tahini paste is made from ground sesame seeds. Commonly used in Middle Eastern cuisine, you can find it in foods like hummus, baba ganoush, and halva. Tahini contains ten times as much calcium compared to peanut butter, and it is also low in sodium and saturated fat.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup or 200g of raw cashew nuts
9-12 medjool dates
2 tablespoons of tahini
1/4 cup or 40g of dark chocolate chips
sesame seeds (optional, to decorate)
Instructions:
Blend 200g of cashews and 9-12 dates in a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons of tahini and continue blending until it forms a paste. Add more dates depending on desired consistency.

Roll the paste into bite-sized balls. Roll in sesame seeds to decorate.
