Tahini Hot Chocolate

 

8 oz. milk chocolate, chopped

8 oz. bittersweet chocolate (70 percent cacao), chopped

4 1/2 C. whole milk

1/2 C. tahini

1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1/4 C. toasted sesame seeds

Fleur de sel

 

Combine the chopped chocolates in a bowl and set aside. Combine the milk and tahini in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to just under a boil, whisking to incorporate the tahini. Pour the milk mixture into the bowl of chocolate and set aside for 3 to 5 minutes, until the chocolate is almost melted. Stir with a rubber spatula until the chocolate is fully melted. Once the mixture is smooth, add the salt and whisk vigorously or use an immersion blender to blend until smooth and frothy. To serve, pour into small serving C. and top with toasted sesame seeds and a pinch of fleur de sel.
