Creative Halvades

Halvas – Χαλβάς (plural Halvades) is one of our favourite desserts during Lent but I always like to make it in different flavours.

This time I made the basic recipe which was divided in two parts. In the first one I made a strawberry coulis which was used both inside and to decorate the dessert and I made the other with lots of leftover ingredients I had in my cupboard from other recipes, which I wanted to use.

I didn’t want to use the same mold I’ve been using for ages, so I gave it a different design by adding a smaller mold inside.

I’ve created a new blog called Gourmet Concoctions at Assini.  We shall be relocating to Assini, which is near Nafplion soon and I have some ideas to start a business.   I am not sure if they will eventually materialize but until then I shall record the facts as they develop.

These recipes are linked to my event Creative Concoctions #3 – Desserts.
