Chia Seed Halva is a modern twist on the traditional Greek dessert, combining the nutty flavor of tahini with the health benefits of chia seeds. This high-protein treat is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making it a perfect indulgence for health-conscious dessert lovers.

Ingredients

• Tahini - 100 grams
• Chia seeds - 50 grams
• Honey - 30 grams
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Almond milk - 150 ml
• Cocoa powder - 1 tablespoon
• Chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts) - 30 grams
• Sea salt - a pinch

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the tahini, honey, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Stir until smooth.
2. Add the chia seeds, cocoa powder, and a pinch of sea salt to the mixture. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
3. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the halva.

5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors and set the halva.
