This is the easiest and most delicious topping to take your vanilla ice cream to the next level. I hesitate to call this sprinkle dukkah (dukkah adjacent, maybe?), since dukkah is an Egyptian blend of seeds, nuts, and spices and this sprinkle is a blend of seeds, nuts, and chocolate. Two out of three ain’t bad I guess.
This topping would be just as satisfying on yogurt too, if you want to keep things healthier.
- 1/4 cup chopped salted dry-roasted peanuts
- 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons chopped dark chocolate
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- 3 cups vanilla ice cream
- 3 tablespoons tahini, warmed
- Lightly toast peanuts and, sesame seeds in a small skillet over low, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small plate; let cool, about 5 minutes. Stir together cooled peanut mixture, chocolate, and salt in a small bowl. Scoop 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream into each of 6 bowls. Drizzle each with 1/2 tablespoon tahini. Sprinkle each serving with 2 tablespoons dukkah.
