When people think of Thai food, they often picture spicy curries, tangy salads, and sizzling stir-fries. But Thai desserts are an equally important part of the country’s culinary culture. They bring a delightful contrast to savoury dishes—light, sweet, and often with a tropical twist.
At Lime and Basil, we prepare desserts that honor authentic Thai flavours while adding our own refined touch, making them the perfect ending to your meal.
Why Thai Desserts are Unique
Thai sweets are all about balance—sweetness complemented by creamy textures, refreshing fruits, and fragrant herbs. Coconut milk, pandan, kaffir lime, and palm sugar are common ingredients, each adding depth without being overly heavy.
If you’re curious about how these flavours fit into the wider Thai dining experience, our Beginner’s Guide to Thai Food is the perfect starting point.
Our Sweet Desserts
Mango Sticky Rice
A beloved Thai classic, Mango Sticky Rice pairs perfectly ripe mangoes with glutinous rice cooked in creamy coconut milk. Finished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, it’s a seasonal treat that captures the essence of Thai tropical sweetness.
Panacotta Sampler
Our Panacotta Sampler offers three delicate panna cotta variations, each infused with a hint of Thai-inspired flavour. It’s a light yet indulgent way to enjoy multiple taste profiles in one sitting—ideal for those who can’t choose just one dessert.
Kaffir Crème Brûlée
A sophisticated twist on the French classic, our Kaffir Crème Brûlée blends smooth custard with the citrusy aroma of kaffir lime leaves. Topped with a crisp caramelised sugar layer, it’s the perfect mix of fragrant, creamy, and crunchy.
Many of these desserts also feature in our Seasonal Thai Specials when fresh ingredients are at their peak.
Pairing Desserts with Drinks
For the ultimate ending, enjoy Mango Sticky Rice with a Thai iced tea, pair the Panacotta Sampler with a lemongrass infusion, or match Kaffir Crème Brûlée with a light herbal drink. For more pairing ideas, see our How to Enjoy Thai Food and Drinks for Every Meal of the Day.
A Sweet Ending Worth Savoring
Thai desserts prove that the end of a meal can be as memorable as the beginning. From the fruity freshness of mango sticky rice to the creamy elegance of kaffir crème brûlée, each dish offers a taste of comfort and indulgence.
Whether you’re rounding off a family dinner or celebrating a special occasion, Lime and Basil’s dessert menu has something to make your dining experience complete.
