Dessert with mint-lime cream is the embodiment of freshness and refined taste of Thai cuisine. Its roots go back to the traditions of using natural and aromatic ingredients characteristic of this gastronomy. The delicate cream made from avocado, honey, lime, and mint gives the dessert a refreshing citrus aroma that harmoniously blends with a nutty base of hazelnuts, sesame seeds, and dates. This textural combination creates an exquisite contrast between the velvety cream and the crunchy base. It can be enjoyed as a light finish to a meal or as a standalone treat on a hot day. Each bite is a subtle balance of sweetness, tartness, and nutty depth that pleasantly surprises and refreshes. Topped with cranberries, the dessert gains even more flavor nuances and a festive appearance.

It's better to start with a nut base. Grind sesame into flour (for example, in a coffee grinder) and hazelnuts into crumbs. Mix sesame and hazelnuts (which should be soaked overnight) with dates, adding a pinch of salt. Transfer the resulting sticky mass to a container and place it in the freezer for half an hour to an hour to firm up a bit.
