- First, prepare the mould by lining a small square container with cling wrap, leaving extra lengths hanging over the sides. These will fold back over and cover the halva while it sets.
- Into a clean bowl, measure out the Milk Powder and Icing Sugar, and quickly mix, leaving a small well in the centre.
- Pour in the Tahini. Mix with your hands until the mixture comes together.
- If you are using, sprinkle a layer of crushed pistachios, almonds or another flavour (chocolate chips?) into the base of the container.
- Gently press the halva mix into the container. Fold the excess cling wrap over the Halva and refrigerate, applying a weight to the top if you can, to help it set firmly. Leave overnight.
- When ready, cut into small squares to serve.
