What is Walnut cocoa halva?
Walnut cocoa halva is a Turkish sesame confection made with tahini and sweetener, with cocoa and chopped walnuts folded in. Unlike flour-based halva, it has the rich, slightly crumbly texture typical of tahini halva.
The cocoa brings a gentle bitterness, while the walnuts add crunch and complement the toasted sesame flavour. In Turkey, it is often served in thin slices with tea or offered as a small sweet after a meal; elsewhere, it can be enjoyed the same way or alongside coffee. Tahini and walnuts make it an energy-dense treat with some protein as well as substantial fat. A modest slice with unsweetened tea is an easy way to keep the serving light.
