Ingredients

  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup water

For Halva:

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp walnuts chopped

Instructions

  • To make sherbet, heat the milk, water, and sugar in a small pot until the sugar has just melted. Set aside.
  • Heat the butter in a heavy-bottomed non-stick pan. When the butter is melted, add the flour to the pan. Cook the mixture, constantly stirring, until it turns golden. Add the chopped walnuts to the pan and cook until it turns brown.
  • Pour the sherbets into the pan and continue stirring until the sherbet is completely absorbed and you get a smooth halva consistency that does not stick to the wooden spoon.
  • Remove the pan from the heat. Shape into a traditional oval form using two tablespoons and serve them hot with crushed nuts or ice cream.
