Yield: 4
Ingredients: ½ cup vanilla tahini; ¼ cup water; ½ cup labne; 1 tsp Orchidea; -; 2 cups granola; 2 cups pitted cherries cut in half; Halva Floss

Tahini Labne Cream is one of my pantry's secret weapons. You can spread it on a piece of bread, use it as a quick frosting, or even add it to shakes and smoothies for sweetness and texture. In this recipe it creates an instant "pastry cream" like mix without cooking. The labne supplies a nice tang and the tahini some additional nutty notes.
