Tahini Halva Dessert

Tahini halva dessert is nutty, crumbly, and sweetly fragrant. This tahini halva dessert blends sesame richness with honey warmth. Finally, tahini halva dessert is perfect for tea, gifting, or a sweet, wholesome treat.

Ingredients

  • 350 g tahini
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey
  • 80 g water
  • 1 vanilla pod or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Place the tahini in a large mixing bowl and set it aside.

In a pan over medium heat, combine the sugar, honey, and water. Stir continuously for about 5–6 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to caramelize.

Remove the caramel from the heat and gradually add it to the tahini in three batches, stirring well after each addition until fully incorporated. Finally, add the vanilla and stir vigorously until the mixture thickens.

Transfer the halva mixture into a mold and allow it to cool at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.

A Traditional Sweet

First, tahini halva dessert has roots that span centuries across Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. Made from sesame paste (tahini) and sweetened typically with honey or sugar, it’s known for its crumbly texture and rich flavor, symbolizing hospitality and tradition.

What Makes It Irresistible

This dessert balances dense nutty creaminess with a delicate, crumbly texture. The sesame seeds’ aroma and honey’s gentle sweetness mingle to create layers of flavor. Moreover, adding ingredients like pistachios, vanilla, or rose water can elevate its aroma and visual appeal.

Serving Suggestions
