How to Serve Macedonian Halva with Cocoa
Serve at room temperature for the best flavor and texture — halva softens slightly and becomes more aromatic as it warms. Slice with a sharp knife to reveal the beautiful marbled cocoa pattern, or crumble over yogurt, ice cream, or oatmeal for a rich chocolate-sesame topping. Pairs beautifully with strong coffee, espresso, or a glass of dessert wine. Store in a cool, dry place; refrigerate after opening and consume within a few weeks.
