Halvah is a Middle Eastern sweet made of sesame seeds and honey and is found in most delicatessens or Asian or Middle Eastern food shops. Here, it contributes to a uniquely sweet smoothie.
1/2 to 2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons Chocolate Sauce
1 cup partially frozen diced bananas
1/3 cup (3 ounces) chocolate-covered or plain halvah, broken into small pieces
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
Place all the ingredients in a blender and mix by using the on/off pulse function until the ingredients are mostly blended. Continue mixing, gradually increasing the speed, until the mixture is smooth. Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with a Chocolate-Dipped Frozen Baby Banana (see Great Garnishes), if desired.
