Notes
Mo’s tip: Each piece is almost carb free.
This is not quite the commercial halva but the flavour of sesame is good.
Store in a cool place, not in the fridge or it will become too hard.
Divide the values by the number of squares to get the value of each piece. I got 20 pieces giving: 5.04g fat / 1.60g protein / 0.07g CHO
Ingredients
- 168g Tahini light – MERIDIAN BRAND
- 130g Granular or powdered sweetener of your choice - I used TRUVIA
- You will also need 45mls of water, ½ teaspoon of rosewater or a pinch of cinnamon.
Instructions
- Line a small container with parchment paper – mine was 17cm x 12cm.
- Place the tahini in a microwave bowl with the rosewater or cinnamon.
- Microwave for a few seconds at a time, stir in between until it has just melted – do not let it get too hot.
- Place the sweetener and water in a small saucepan and heat gently until the sweetener has dissolved, then bring it to a simmer.
- Simmer for 5 minutes stirring after each minute, this will go syrupy.
- Pour the syrup slowly into the tahini and mix thoroughly. Keep mixing until it starts to go really thick then quickly pour into the lined container, smooth it by pressing down gently.
- Leave to set in the fridge for up to one hour.
- Cut into squares.
