In a mixing bowl, combine the raw tahini, coconut flour, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Stir the mixture thoroughly using a spatula or wooden spoon until it forms a thick and cohesive dough-like consistency.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or saltiness if desired, adding more maple syrup or a pinch of salt to taste.
Transfer the halva mixture into a small loaf pan or square dish lined with parchment paper, pressing it down firmly and evenly with a spatula or your hands.
Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds and/or chopped pistachios evenly on top of the halva, pressing gently to adhere.
Refrigerate the halva for at least 2 hours or until it is firm and set.
Once firm, remove the halva from the pan and cut it into bite-sized pieces or bars using a sharp knife.
Store the sesame halva in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
