Halvah (from Cool Recipes)




Source of Recipe


From Cool Recipes


List of Ingredients




1-1/2 cups almonds
1/2 cup raw tahini
3 Tbs. honey
1 tsp. vanilla
1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. carob powder


Recipe



In a food processor, place almonds and process until finely ground. Add the tahini, honey and vanilla; process thoroughly. Place 1/2 of the mixture in a bowl; set aside. Add carob to the remainder and process.

Press the plain mixture onto a plate or pan until it is 1/4" thick (don't worry about filling the pan, just press the mixture to the correct thickness). Pat the carob mixture between your hands until it is approximately the same thickness.

Place the carob mixture over the plain mixture. Press the two mixtures together to make a 1/2-inch thick, two-colored slab of halvah.

Chill the halvah in the refrigerator for 1 hour or more, then cut it into bite-sized pieces and roll into little balls.

Yields 20-24 pieces.

Notes: I would consider trying this using vegetable glycerin and stevia to make a thick syrup. You would have to make a reduction of the stevia/glycerin first which can takes as much as an hour plus cooling time, but it would probably work to replace the honey fairly well.

The carob step could be omitted and you could just press the halvah into the pan to the 1/2 in thickness instead.
