Tahini Molasses Dessert is Turkish, Delicious and Easy to Make

This tahini and molasses dessert is called “Tahin Pekmez” (literally, “Tahini Molasses”) in Turkish. It is so easy and fast to make, as it requires no cooking or baking.  All you do is mix it up, and that only takes a few minutes, and voila, it is done!  It can be eaten with a spoon, but it is very, very sweet.  Traditionally, it is eaten with fresh, crunchy bread dipped in or mixed with it.Tahini Molasses Dessert

The good thing about this dessert is that in an airtight container at room temperature, it stays good for a very long time! Best not to put it in the fridge, as it gets hard and isn’t usable; leave it on the counter. When you are about to eat it, stir it, and put it on your porridge, rice cake, or bread. Enjoy!

This is a very healthy dessert full of nutrients from the molasses and tahini.
