Description
While classic Middle Eastern halva is typically made of tahini (sesame paste) and sugar, this halva variation substitutes Medjool dates for most of the sugar, resulting in a snackable treat that's rich and fudgy. The base recipe features a toasted coconut and sesame seed crust, which provides some crunch and visual appeal. Once you try the base version, spice things up with the cardamom pistachio and chocolate espresso hazelnut variations (find them in the baker's tips, below).
