Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 c honey
flavorings like vanilla, chocolate, coconut etc.
3/4 c sesame tahini.
3/4 c nuts, i used pistachios

Steps:

1. Grease an 8x10x2" rectangular non-stick pan and line the bottom with parchment and oil that too. You can also use a tin with a press out bottom, ramekins or a plastic container.
2. If you plan to use nuts in this it would be advisable to toast them at 350'F (180'C). And add them to the Honey syrup while it's still warm. Heat the honey is a medium sized sauce pan. Watch it, it will bubble up so keep a close eye on it.
3. I used a candy thermometer and when the temperature of the honey hit 240'F (115'C) the soft ball stage I took it off the heat to cool. If you are going to add nuts to this add them while the syrup is cooling.
4. While the honey is cooling, add your flavoring if using. I added some coconut essence to mine. Heat up the sesame tahini to 120'F (50'C) and fold the warm tahini into the warm syrup.
5. Once the mixture has cooled, cover it to keep out moister. This gives sugar crystals time to grow in the halva which gives it its distinct texture.
6. Enjoy!

Honey, Halva and Cardamom Biscotti image

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the Biscotti:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup tahini
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup nut or grain milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups white whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon salt
Sesame seeds, for sprinkling
Raw sugar, for sprinkling
For the Glaze:
1/3 cup coconut butter
2 tablespoons canned coconut milk or evaporated milk
1 tablespoon agave or honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 275°F and have a lined half sheet pan nearby. 2. To make the biscotti, in a large mixing bowl with a handheld beater or in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the granulated sugar, honey, tahini, vegetable oil, milk and vanilla until combined. Then add the flour, baking powder, cardamom and salt, and beat until just combined. 3. Divide the dough in half and shape into two ¾-inch-tall, 4-inch-wide loaves on the baking sheet, leaving a couple inches of space between the loaves. Sprinkle them with the sesame seeds and raw sugar, and bake for 25 minutes, or until they turn light golden brown. Remove from the oven and, using a serrated knife, gently slice the loaves into 1-inch-wide cookies. Tip the cookies on their sides and place back in the oven to bake for another 20 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool, preferably overnight on the counter uncovered. 4. To make the glaze, in a saucepan, heat the coconut butter, coconut milk, agave and vanilla until liquefied. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then pour into a squeeze bottle with a small tip, and drizzle over the cooled biscotti. Sprinkle with more sesame seeds, if you like, and serve.
