Halvah

• sesame seeds - one cup hulled or black
• cocoa beans - one cup dry peeled
• honey - 4oz or 3 or more tablespoons (variable- enough to ball)
• agave nectar - 4 oz

• add black sesame seeds to vitamix with dry blade cannister, and pulverize into flour by starting on low and increasing the speed
  • drizzle honey in the middle under low speed until it balls up
• remove and replace with cocoa beans and pulverize into flour
  • drizzle agave nectar in the middle until it balls up
• combine the layers - I do this in two stages because my vitamix only works well with 1 cup at a time
• put walnuts on bottom of mold, press in the halvah on top and cool.
  

• in the vitamix with the dry blade canister
  add a cup of hulled sesame seeds
  and grind it to flour consistency
  drizzle in honey with the speed on low
  
  the vitamix makes flour and then a dough ball just like a food processor
  
  anything can be used as a mold, like a glass dish
  i filled up an ice tray with the dough and pressed them down
  sprinkled with sesame seeds
  and just before they almost froze
  i popped them out of the ice cube trays and stored them in the refrigerator

Black and White Halvah

• there are two layers - a chocolate layer and a sesame layer
  
  
  • the sesame layer is a cup of sesame seeds
    ground with dry blades in the vitamix
    and then balled with three tablespoons of honey
    (or just enough to ball)
    
    
  • the chocolate layer is a cup of cocoa beans
    ground with dry blades in the vitamix
    and then balled with three tablespoons of agave nectar
    
    also, at first i got the whole cocoa beans
    i then soaked them, peeled them, and then dried them
    but i can now buy them like that already
    or at least it seems like a good idea
    "Raw Sun Dried - Go Chocolate"
    
    use a mold or flat glass tray to flatten two or three layers
    chill, demold, slice, eat
