CHOCOLATE, PISTACHIO, AND TAHINI TRUFFLES
The perfect party treat, these two-bite truffles can easily be made ahead of time and are a wonderful accompaniment to a glass of bubbly. In this version, tahini (ground sesame paste) replaces the traditional heavy cream for a nuttier flavor.

Steps:
- Heat tahini, chocolate, honey, salt, cinnamon, and orange zest in a medium heatproof bowl set over a medium saucepan of barely simmering water (bottom of bowl should not touch water), stirring occasionally, or microwave in short bursts, stirring in between bursts, until melted and smooth.
- Carefully pour tahini mixture into a glass or metal tall-sided baking pan (an 8x8" pan works well). Chill until truffle base is firm, 60-70 minutes.
- Meanwhile, finely chop pistachios by hand or with a food processor. Mix pistachios and sesame seeds in a medium bowl.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Scoop tahini mixture by the tablespoonful and quickly roll into 1" balls between the palms of your hands. Toss in pistachio-sesame mixture until coated. Using a spoon, gently transfer to prepared sheet.
- Do Ahead
- Truffles can be made 5 days ahead; cover and chill. Let sit at room temperature 15 minutes before serving.
