What is Tahini foam halva?
Tahini foam halva is a Turkish sweet made by beating tahini with sugar syrup until it becomes airy and full of fine bubbles. Some traditional recipes use soapwort-root extract to help create its characteristic foam. The sesame flavour remains prominent beneath the sweetness, unlike a plain sugar confection.
Its soft, light-looking texture breaks down easily, though it is rich and satisfying. In Turkey, it is commonly enjoyed in a small piece with tea or after a meal; elsewhere, it works well as a sweet bite alongside coffee. It is energy-dense, with 515 kcal per 100 g, and gets much of its fat from sesame. A modest portion with unsweetened tea or fresh fruit makes a less-sweet pairing.
