Why is cocoa tahini halva (Koska) crumbly?

What is Cocoa tahini halva (Koska)?
Koska cocoa tahini halva is a Turkish confection made with tahini, a paste of ground sesame seeds, and sweetener, with cocoa added for a chocolate-like note. It has a dense, slightly crumbly texture and a rich sesame flavour beneath the sweetness.
