Halawa (حلاوة) is one of the most iconic Egyptian sweets, found in every home.
Made from tahina and sugar, it has been a beloved breakfast and snack for generations.
Egyptians enjoy it with bread, as a dessert, or mixed with cream and nuts during family gatherings.

Mix with cream (eshṭa) for a rich treat
Add to pastries or baked goods for flavour
3 tbsp halawa
1 tbsp tahina
1–2 tbsp warm milk
Optional: crushed pistachios
Mash halawa with tahina in a small bowl.
Add warm milk gradually until creamy.
Mix until smooth.
Top with pistachios if desired.
Spread on toast or serve as a dip.
Crumbly, melt-in-the-mouth blocks with rich sesame flavour and sweetness.
Slice for breakfast plates, snacks, dessert platters or crumble over ice cream.
Halawa is an energy-dense treat made mainly from sesame seeds and sugar. Enjoy small portions alongside fruit or nuts rather than as an everyday snack.
Children often sneak thin slices of halawa from the fridge, leaving a little ‘mountain range’ behind on the block.
