Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Syrup

In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2

Mix Tahini

In a mixing bowl, combine tahini and vanilla extract. If you're using optional flavoring, add it here.

3

Combine Mixtures

Pour the syrup into the tahini mixture while stirring continuously until fully combined.

4

Add Nuts

Fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed.

5

Set the Halva

Pour the mixture into a greased square or rectangular dish. Smooth the top with a spatula and let it cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until set.

6

Cut and Serve

Once set, cut the halva into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy your homemade halva!
