La mayoría de los halva son confecciones densas elaboradas con pastas alimenticias diversas y que posteriormente se endulzan con azúcar o miel. Sin embargo, a pesar de esta sencilla descripción, las texturas tienen una amplia gama de variedades. Por ejemplo, el semolina halva es gelatinoso y semi-transparente, mientras que el sésamo halva es seco y ligeramente crujiente.
