Syrup-Free Tahini Chocolate Halva – Pareve version
Raw sesame seeds toasted and ground into tahini in a food processor, mixed with melted dark chocolate, honey and sesame oil, topped with pistachios, and set in the fridge. Based on the recipe itself here, with no verified source. Pareve version: Dark chocolate (dairy-free).
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring, until it turns golden.
⚙ Dry-Pan ToastingStoveFrying pan
💡Toast over medium heat and keep things moving: nuts, pine nuts and spices go from toasted to burnt in seconds. Transfer to a plate right away, since the hot pan keeps toasting.
2
Grind the toasted sesame in a powerful blender 10-15 minutes, into a smooth paste (raw tahini).
⚙ Grinding in a Food ProcessorFood processor
💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)
3
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
