You can find this recipe in SESAME, our debut cookbook.

I know you might be scratching your head with this combination….. but trust me, it makes for a sublime dessert with flavors and textures that will linger on in your food memory bank for a while. The earthy, buttery, crispy sage meets sweet, flaky halva and creamy ice cream, creating an easy yet sophisticated finale to a meal.  When entertaining guests, I would crisp up the sage in advance and set it aside, together with the browned butter, so everything can be assembled at the last minute.

INGREDIENTS

For the base
2-3 tbsp salted butter
6-8 sage leaves
4 scoops premium vanilla ice cream
4 oz Seed + Mill Halva, crumbled

STEPS

1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the butter starts to foam, add the sage leaves and cook the leaves for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sage to crisp and the butter to turn a deep golden color. Watch the butter carefully so it doesn’t burn.    
2. Scoop the ice cream into bowls. Top with crumbled halva, and spoon over a tablespoon of the brown butter sage mixture. Serve immediately.
