Halva frozen yoghurt
I used to make halva ice cream using ready-made vanilla ice cream, thawing this slightly and then mixing in honey and tahini, then refreezing. Totally delicious with the essence of halva coming through.
This is a delicious and healthier high-protein dessert alternative to ice cream.
Recipe:
- 1kg full cream Greek yoghurt (used the Woolies organic one)
- 100ml easy pour honey (makes the mixing in easier) – you could add more if you want it sweeter
- 4 Tbsp tahini
Mix all of the above in a bowl and churn through an ice cream maker if want to make a frozen dessert.
This thick creamy mixture is so delicious as is, it would work so well just dolloped directly onto fruit, caramelised fruit, baked fruit, muesli or as a cream replacement with a nice almond tart.
Sprinkle on some toasted nuts or stir through chopped pistachios.

Oh my, this sounds super. Beats my attempt at frozen yoghurt. :-/
What a wonderful and inspired recipe. Love your blog!
Thank you! it gets quite hard in the freezer, but just temper it at room temp for a few mintutes to get it back to a nice soft consistency.
can you make this without an ice cream machine?
Hi Lynn
I have made this using ready made ice cream, let it melt a bit, mix in the tahina etc and then re freeze. I am not sure if it would work with yoghurt that hasn’t churned. it would work with ready made frozen yoghurt.
Thanks Sam (its fabulous)
Interesting, never tried freezing it. I make a similar mix, never measured anything just put low fat Turkish/Greek/Bulgarian style yoghurt, honey and tahina together with some rose or orange blossom water, stir well and chuck some ripe strawberries on top. I like it nearly sweet but not quite, and the strawberries sweet and tasty, they burst flavour in your mouth and contrast with the halva flavoured yoghurt. I find it quite addictive.
Hi Nickle, your yoghurt fruit combo sounds amazing 🙂

Yes, and thanks for reminding me, I’ve got some in the fridge!
