Halva

Method

Halva Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Halva

    In a saucepan over low heat, combine tahini, honey, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 10-15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Pistachios

    Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the chopped pistachios until evenly distributed. Pour into a greased dish and let cool at room temperature. Once set, cut into squares.
