Halva Nice Day!

I made Halva ice cream. According to the spruce Eats, Halva is tahini (sesame paste), sugar, and heavy cream, which is pretty much an ice cream base already. This one won't be for everyone, but I liked the result. This recipe comes directly from the spruce Eats.

Helluva Halva Ice Cream

• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 cups heavy cream
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla paste or pure vanilla extract (I went with extract)
• ¼ tsp salt
• ⅔ cup tahini (sesame paste)

1. In a suitable bowl, whisk together milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, salt, and tahini
2. Churn per manufacturer's instructions
3. Place in freezer to harden

Using a vetted recipe results in adequate fat content and a good texture. You can really taste the sesame. the spruce Eats suggests topping with Halva candy, but I didn't do that. I drizzled on vanilla-infused maple syrup, which was a nice combination. Chocolate sauce might also work.
