Low carb, keto friendly, vegan halva (Greek sesame paste fudge), gluten free, sugar free, dairy free and also diabetic friendly!
Keto / low carb
This is a recipe for a perfect low-carb halva that, in my opinion, is tastier than a conventional one.
Pre keto, halva was not one of my favorite delicacies and I had not bothered to make a keto version.
So... that's not my recipe.
That's Maria's recipe and it's amazing!
I tried it out of curiosity and since then I only make Maria's recipe when I want to have some halva.
Maria is a wonderful person who, gave me her recipe and allowed me with pleasure to post it on my blog so that everyone enjoy.
This halva is very easy to make, the ingredients are only few and accessible and most importantly, it's very yummy!
