1. Halvas is one of those Greek desserts that, in my humble opinion, is overlooked. Yes, it's not loaded with chocolate, cream or other decadent ingredients. It's simplicity is what draws me to love it more! Now, that said, my halvas is far from "simple"...... Other than being simple to prepare, it's loaded with so many lovely flavors like, cranberries, raisins, orange, cinnamon, just a hint of cardamom and nuts. Absolutely delicious!
2. Go ahead and give it a try! You can definitely substitute any of the dried fruit and nuts with your favorites. I've used pistachios (the salted variety are super delicious in sweet dishes), pine nuts, hazelnuts, raisins, dates, figs..... Have fun with it! I especially love serving this during the winter holiday season. It just makes me feel warm and fuzzy 🙂
3. Begin by making the syrup. Combine all of the ingredients (syrup ingredients) in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes until the sugar is melted. Remove the spices and discard. Remove from the heat and set aside while preparing the pudding.
4. Heat the oil and add the semolina, salt and cardamom seeds. Keep stirring it until it develops a golden color. This will toast the semolina and give it a delicious flavor. Be very careful not to burn it! Keep stirring and cook it over medium heat.

1. Make the syrup: transfer the sugar, the water, the salt, the cinnamon sticks, and the cloves to a pot. Bring to a boil, let it bubble for 1 minute, and turn off the heat.
2. In the meantime, toast the semolina: transfer the oil and the semolina to a large, deep pot and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it gets deeper in color and starts to smell nutty. Take off the heat.
3. Remove the cinnamon sticks and the cloves from the syrup and add the vanilla. Carefully (because it will bubble a lot) add the syrup in the pot with the semolina mixture. Return to the heat and cook stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and it starts to pull away from the sides of the pot. Lightly oil an 8-inch round pan. Spoon the halva into the pan and press it with the back of the spoon or a spatula until the surface is level. Let it cool for 30 minutes, invert it onto a serving plate, and transfer it in the fridge to cool completely.
4. Make the chocolate ganache: Transfer all the ingredients for the ganache to a small pot and heat gently over medium heat until almost all the chocolate has melted. Remove from the heat and stir until the chocolate melts completely. Transfer the ganache to a clean bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour or until it reaches the consistency of thick yogurt.
