#halava

made orange, date and almond halava

halava is the dessert of my childhood, but I've never made ot myself, until today!!!

for a first try, im so happy. i won't do nuts cooked in again, i will just sprinkle them on top next time.

and maybe dates in smaller pieces. but man, it hit right, and im so happy that i got it so close on my first try.

my childhood desserts are

- my mother's chocolate birthday cake: great flavour but dry as hell. no urge to replicate that.

- my mother's blueberry cheesecake: excellent cake. i took the recipe, altered it and i make it better.

various flavours of halava from crossways: dearly beloved crossways, the place where i ate almost every time i stayed with my dad.

crossways, the provider of food for every homeless person, and impoverished student and vegetarian business worker and also two weird kids come up to the city from the country and their weird dad.

its a Melbourne institution.
