Raw Carob Halvas (made with raw tahini)

This is a 100% living raw recipe and a delicious alternative to traditional halvas. I served this at my birthday gathering and it passed the "greek" test. In a land full of a million kinds of halvas that means this recipe is a keeper!!

Raw Carob Halvas

1/2 cup un-toasted sesame seeds

3 TBSP of water (maybe more or less depending on consistency of tahini)

1/2 cup dried coconut

1/2 cup raw carob powder (or raw cacao)

1 TBSP agave nectar

1 TBSP honey

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

dried coconut for garnish

1. Soak sesame seeds for 6 hours in water, drain and puree. (This is raw tahini!)

2. Blend tahini, with remaining ingredients until evenly mixed

3. Place in a baking dish at least 4 inches tall (allowing you to have your halvas at a height of 2 inches)

4. Refrigerate for about 3 hours and when ready to serve, garnish with dried coconut.
