034: BLACK SESAME HALVA

The Black Sesame Halva Cloud — “Tahini Dream Squares of Shadow & Gold”

This is not halva as you know it. This is halva made of air, shadow, and memory. Whipped tahini and black sesame paste folded with maple syrup, cardamom, and adaptogenic powder — then set like silk and cut into moon-bitten squares. Finished with edible gold, fennel crystal, and toasted sesame ash.


⟁ Core Components

  • Base: Black sesame paste + tahini
  • Sweetener: Maple syrup or date molasses (cold-pressed)
  • Spice & Dust: Cardamom, vanilla, fennel seed powder, tiny salt flake
  • Adaptogens: Reishi, ashwagandha, shilajit micro
  • Top Garnish: Edible gold dust, fennel crystal (crushed fennel candy), toasted sesame ash

✍️ Preparation Ritual

  1. Base Blend: In a food processor or blender, mix tahini, black sesame paste, maple syrup, cardamom, and reishi until fluffy but thick. Add tiny pinch of mineral salt. Chill mixture to firm.
  2. Shape: Press into lined square mold or low glass dish. Refrigerate 4+ hours or freeze 1 hour for clean cuts.
  3. Garnish Ritual: Toast white and black sesame seeds in ghee or dry skillet — crush into “ash.” Crush fennel candy or crystal sugar. Dust all atop squares with golden spiral motion.
  4. Serve: Cold or cool room temp. One square per ritual. Pair with rose tulsi tea or cold black sesame milk.
