Equipment

  • Waffle iron

Ingredients

Waffles

  • 2 Large eggs
  • 2 cups All purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups Milk (Dairy free milks work totally fine here!)
  • 1/2 cup Tahini
  • 8 tbsp Butter (Melted)
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 4 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 5 tbsp Chocolate halva

Strawberry Compote

  • 1 cup Strawberries (Roughly chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Sugar

Instructions

  • Plug your waffle iron in.
  • Add the eggs to a medium sized bowl and whisk until light and fluffy.
  • Then add the flour, milk, tahini, butter, salt, baking powder, vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp sugar to the bowl with eggs. Mix until just combined, then fold in 3 tbsp of chocolate halva.
  • Now make your compote! Add the strawberries, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1 tbsp lemon juice to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the it becomes nice and bubbly. Once it's bubbling, reduce the heat to medium-low and mash the berries with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook for 4-5 minutes and then remove from heat.
  • Once the waffle iron is ready, fill it with batter (I like to use a ladle for this) and close it. The waffle iron should release plenty of steam as it cooks. Once it stops steaming, check for doneness. If the waffles are nice and crispy, they're good to go. Remove them and start making your next batch (unless you have one of those massive waffle irons and can knock it out in one go).
  • To assemble, spoon a bit of strawberry compote onto each serving of waffles. Next, crumble some chocolate halva on top (that's what that extra 2 tbsp is for, though you can use more if you're like). Serve with maple syrup, or enjoy as is!
