Instructions

  • 1 Mix coconut oil, sugar and orange juice in a large bowl until well blended.  Add eggs and mix again.
  • 2 Add flour, baking powder and orange zest and mix until dough forms, adding more flour if needed. 
  • 3 On a well floured surface, roll out dough and cut out circles.  Fill with halva spread or chocolate halva* or your preferred filling.  Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Bake at 400 for 12 minutes.
  • Halva spread is a mix of tahini with date honey, you can make a chocolate halva filling by combining tahini 1:1 with melted chocolate (I usually place tahini with chocolate pieces in the microwave just until melted and mix well)
