1 cup + 2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 cup brown sugar
4½ tbsp water
½ cup + 1 tbsp peanut butter
½ tsp ground cardamom
½ tsp ground ginger
3-4 tbsp dried coconut
In a coffee grinder, pulse the sesame seeds until fine (be careful not to grind them into tahini) and set aside in a small bowl.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt together the sugar, water, and peanut butter, stirring frequently to prevent the mix from burning. Once the mixture has melted, add in the ground sesame, cardamom, and ginger and stir until combined.
Spread the mixture evenly into a greased glass loaf pan and sprinkle the coconut over the top, pressing down lightly to incorporate it into the top layer of the mix. Cover and let cool. To serve, cut into 24 squares.
