12 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 ounces halva divided
  • ¼ cup 100% tahini

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch casserole with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl combine evoo with chocolate and melt over a double boiler or for 1 minutes in the microwave. Set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl whisk eggs with sugar until pale, about 3-4 minutes by hand. Gently mix in melted chocolate just until blended. Add flour, cocoa and salt and fold in gently, careful not to over mix.
  • Break up large chunks of halva and place them on the bottom of prepared pan reserving 1 ounce to crumble on top later.
  • Pour batter over top to fill pan. Spoon tahini over top of brownies in 12 spots, then use a knife to swirl it through.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until top is cooked, it’s okay if the middle is a little soft, that will help result in a chewy gooey brownie.
  • Immediately after removing from oven, crumble halvah over top. Allow to cool at least an hour before cutting and storing or serving.
