Tehina and halva ice cream combines creamy sesame paste with crumbly sweet halva in cream for a frozen dessert that’s rich and nutty. This no-churn version lets you skip the ice cream maker.

Ingredients:

250ml double cream, cold
125ml tahini, well-stirred
4 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp sea salt
70g halva, crumbled

Method:

Whip the cream in a bowl until stiff peaks form (about 3 minutes). Now gently fold in the tahini, honey, vanilla extract and sea salt until fully and evenly incorporated.

Add the crumbled halva, folding lightly to distribute evenly without deflating the whipped cream mixture.

Transfer the ice cream mixture to a loaf tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Cover tightly with clingrilm, pressing it directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming during the freezing process.

Set in your freezer and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm.

A scoop of this ice cream reveals a velvety texture with bursts of halva.

Serve drizzled with extra tahini for an even deeper sesame flavour.
