Sesame pastry is a true embodiment of Eastern sweets, harmoniously combining nuts, dried fruits, and aromatic sesame. Inspired by Arab culinary traditions, this dessert offers a rich flavor with light caramel notes of dates, the tenderness of cashews, and a pleasant tartness from apricots. Crunchy sesame seeds add a nutty accent and make each bite special. Served as small balls rolled in golden sesame, it is not only delicious but also aesthetically appealing. It is an ideal option for a light snack or as an addition to tea ceremonies since such sweets traditionally accompany friendly conversations and hospitality in Arab culture.
