Are you in the mood for something sweet, but keen on keeping it healthy? What if I told you that a delightful treat awaits you, and it only requires two simple ingredients? Yes, you read that right! Today, we’re diving into the world of making a healthy version of halva, a traditional sweet treat, without any sugar. It’s straightforward, delicious, and a joy to make.
Healthy Halva: A Two-Ingredient Wonder The secret to this healthy halva lies in its simplicity – the only ingredients you need are tahini (sesame seed paste) and honey. That’s it! No sugar, no additives, just pure and simple goodness.
Why This Halva is a Great Choice
- Natural Sweetness: By using honey, we’re embracing a natural sweetener that is not only sweet but also brings its own unique flavor and a touch of luxury to the halva.
- Nutrient-Rich: Tahini, made from sesame seeds, is a powerhouse of nutrients. It’s rich in healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, making this treat not just tasty but also beneficial for your overall health.
- Easy to Digest: This sugar-free halva is easier on the digestive system, making it a wonderful choice for a light yet satisfying sweet treat.
How to Make Your Two-Ingredient Halva
- Ingredients:
- 1 cup tahini
- 1/2 cup honey (adjust according to taste)
- Preparation:
- In a bowl, combine the tahini and honey. Stir well until the mixture becomes thicker and the color lightens. This step requires a bit of arm strength, but the result is worth it!
- Once mixed, transfer the mixture into a small tray or mold lined with parchment paper.
- Flatten the surface with a spatula or spoon.
- Let it set. You can leave it at room temperature for a firmer texture or place it in the refrigerator for a softer, fudge-like consistency.
