I was thinking of halva just this morning. I think this is a sign I need to make this. I have the ingredients on hand too!

Ah!!! Demystifying halva! Thank you Sami. Silly question, would it work if you used fresh milk (using less) instead of milk powder?

You can use coconut milk powder as a substitute.

Can't wait to make this. Halva reminds me of my childhood, Polish, not Palestinian. I wonder why it's so popular there ...

This looks delicious! Do you use whole milk powder or skim milk powder?

Sami Tamimi's avatar
