We’ve taken the traditional Israeli candy and turned it into a sweet spread you can put on cookies, bread, pretzels…anything.
The best quality ingredients are key to getting a great tasting Halvah spread. Opt for the best quality tahini and plumpest vanilla beans you can buy.
Once made, store this spread in a covered jar or container and store in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks. But with its deliciously addictive quality, it will probably be eaten before then.

I find the water thins it out, you might need to add more tahini.
Yes it’s 100% Tahini with No adres oil etc. I was thinking of thickening the Tahini with a bit if water Maybe ?
That is surprising. Are you using 100 % tahini? It should be nice and thick and give the right consistency.
Hi:) Love your recipes! I’m wanting to acheive this consistency but my spread comes out really runny:( How come? I did everything exaclty lik in he recipe.
