Instructions
 

tahini ganache

  • Combine all ingreidents in a heat proof bowl. Pour 1-2" water into a small to medium sized pot. Heat water over medium high heat. Once the water starts to come to a simmer, place the bowl with the ganache ingredients on top of the pot with simmering water (double boiler). Fully melt the ingredients, stirring to combine. Whisk until all the chocolate has melted and the tahini and butter has been fully mixed in. Remove from heat and set aside. If the ganache hardens too much before mixing into the ice cream, heat in the microwave for 15-30 seconds.

  • In a seperate bowl, stir the sweetened condensed milk and tahini together until well combined

  • Pour ½ of the tahini ice cream base into the freezer proof container.. Drizzle ½ of the tahini ganache. Swirl the ganache using a knife or backend of a spoon or fork, Crumble ½ of the halva on top. Repeat a second layer using the remaining tahini ice cream base, ganache and halva.
