There are many versions of Halva which is a simple and popular dessert to make and takes very little time to prepare.
The most common version is made with semolina and its distinctive texture in the mouth is what makes it exceptional.
Add all the ingredients in a saucepan.

Place over a medium heat and bring to the boil, gently stirring
the whole time.

When the semolina mixture starts to bubble and thicken the halva
is ready.

Pour the halva into a pan or heatproof dish and sprinkle with
the coconut.

Allow to cool and refrigerate.
