Halva (Sesame Sweet Treats)

Halva is made from Tahini, Sesame paste, a high source of calcium.

2 1/4 cups almond meal* 
3/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup honey
1 Tbs vanilla essence
1 Tbs cocoa powder

Mix everything together except cocoa powder. Divide into 2 equal parts and mix one half with cocoa powder. shape the plain half into a square and press the cocoa half as a second layer over the plain base. Together, the mold should be about 3/4 inch thick. 
Refrigerate for a few hours before serving. 

Note: Instead of using almond meal, grind 1.5 cups of almonds in the food processor.
* Almond meal is available at a lowest cost at Trader Joe's.
