Storage Tips
To keep your chocolate tahini swirl brownies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will typically last for up to five days, maintaining their fudgy texture and rich flavor. If you want to extend their shelf life, consider refrigerating them, where they can stay good for up to a week.
For longer storage, these brownies freeze exceptionally well. Simply wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature or warm them slightly in the microwave for that freshly baked taste.
Serving Suggestions
These chocolate tahini swirl brownies are delicious on their own, but there are plenty of ways to elevate your serving experience. Consider dusting them with powdered sugar or drizzling melted chocolate on top for an extra touch of decadence. Pairing them with a scoop of vanilla or salted caramel ice cream creates a delightful contrast of temperatures and textures.
For a more sophisticated presentation, serve the brownies on a platter with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a refreshing element to balance the richness of the brownies. Your guests will be impressed with the beautiful presentation and delicious combination of flavors.
