How to Make Helwa Tat Tork

  1. In a thick-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Cook over low heat, stirring gently until the sugar completely dissolves.
  2. Once boiling, resist the urge to stir. Let it boil undisturbed.
  3. Continue boiling until a sugar thermometer registers 140°C (284°F).
  4. While the sugar syrup cooks, prepare the tahini mixture: In a heatproof bowl, whisk together 1 cup tahini, 1/2 cup chopped almonds, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Slowly and steadily pour the hot sugar syrup into the tahini mixture, whisking constantly until well combined and the mixture begins to thicken.
  6. Immediately transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Let it cool completely before storing.
  7. Note: Some oil may separate after storing; this is normal and does not affect the quality.
  8. Enjoy your Helwa Tat Tork! Serve with bread or on its own.
