I had to have a couple of goes at this to get it to work. In the first attempt I used a dark tahini that is much more viscous than stuff you usually get, and it didn't really come together properly. (NB, anyone who is going to try this recipe) Attempt #2 went much better: I used runnier, lighter tahini with some toasted and crushed pistachios stirred in. Will top with dark chocolate, flaky salt and some more pistachio once it has cooled. Looking forward to trying it Thanks Andy and the BA team. Edit: cooking spray isn't really a thing in the UK so I coated the loaf tin with some high-quality EV olive oil instead. The flavours should work well. I recently went to a wonderful vaguely Eastern Med/Israeli restaurant (Coal Office in King's Cross, London, in case any of you know it) where the dessert was tahini ice cream served with olive oil and salt -- delicious

Dear Andy, your video sucks. You take twice as long as necessary to explain the process and you still manage to gloss over the critical details. Watched this 3 times while replicating, and ended up with a massive waste of time and money that melted when I put it on a rack to coat with chocolate. I let it cool overnight. Sorry for ranting, I'm just not used to recipes that don't turn out right from BA.

nice. a red white and blue halva. way to minimalize the original creators of the dish in your American bastardization of a recipe. JK, its actually cool to know its that easy to create something I liked so much. Also intresting to know that it is basically just sugar and tahini.

I prefer the Halva made with semolina, sugar, and oil which people make at home here in Greece. The tahini halva is called Macedonian halva and people usually buy it rather than make it, so it was really interesting seeing how it can be made.

In Saudi we call it Hallawa tahini and it's either with pistachio or nothing you rarely see it with other nuts and it come in very different textures and we don't eat it alone we eat it with bread for breakfast or as snack

I'm from Libya and we eat halva in bread (as in a halva sandwich, and sometimes we put small cubes of it in dates and it tastes sooo good. I didn't realize people are it with chocolate on top as a stand-alone dessert?

Am I the only one who watched this with It's Alive puns in my head? We want to spray the nonstick cooking spray over the sink, not over the floor. (cut to Brad sliding and falling and making Brad noises)

Halwa is a hugs staple of India, we make it out of suji or daal and it's really smooth kinda like cake batter. My favourite is the one made of carrots, it's like hot hot mushed carrot cake but better

I saw this video twice in my Youtube home, and because of the formatting it showed asAndy Makes SaltedChocolate Halva and both times, skimming through the page, I thought I read the word saliva.
