Vegan Chocolate Spread

Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

100 ml white sesame tahini

80 ml oat milk or water

10 g cacao powder

25 ml maple syrup

Directions

I start by adding the tahini to a mixing bowl, making sure it’s well stirred beforehand for the best consistency. Then I mix in the cacao powder and maple syrup, combining them until the mixture begins to thicken slightly.

Next, I pour in the oat milk or water gradually while whisking continuously. I keep whisking until everything becomes smooth, glossy, and creamy. Once the texture looks perfect, I transfer the spread into a container and place it in the refrigerator. I let it chill, and it stays fresh for up to five days.

Variations

I sometimes switch things up depending on my mood. If I want a deeper chocolate flavor, I add a bit more cacao powder. For extra sweetness, I drizzle in a little more maple syrup. When I’m craving a flavored twist, I like adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon. If I want a thinner consistency, I simply increase the oat milk slightly.

Storage/Reheating

I store the spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it keeps well for up to 5 days. Before using, I give it a quick stir because it may thicken slightly when chilled. I don’t usually reheat it, but if I want it softer, I let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.

FAQs

Can I replace tahini with something else?

I can substitute tahini with sunflower seed butter if I want a similar nut-free option, though the flavor will change slightly.

Can I use regular cocoa powder instead of cacao?

I can use cocoa powder instead of cacao, and it still works well, though cacao gives a slightly richer taste.

How do I make it sweeter?

I simply add more maple syrup to taste if I prefer a sweeter spread.

Can I freeze this chocolate spread?

I don’t usually freeze it because the texture can change, but it can be done if needed. I just thaw it in the fridge and stir well before using.

Is this suitable for kids?

I find it a great option for kids since it’s naturally sweetened and free from common allergens like dairy and nuts.

Conclusion

I keep coming back to this vegan chocolate spread because it’s quick, simple, and incredibly satisfying. It delivers rich chocolate flavor with minimal effort, and I can easily customize it to suit my taste. Whether I use it for breakfast or a snack, it always feels like a small homemade indulgence.
