🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1/2 cup light coconut cream (canned, full-fat)
✓ 1/4 cup natural cashew butter (unsalted)
✓ 4 tbsp Greek yogurt (0% or 2%)
✓ 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
✓ 2 cups crispy baked rice crackers
✓ 1 lime, zested and juiced
✓ 1 tsp fish sauce
✓ 1/2 tsp red chili flakes
✓ 1 garlic clove, minced
✓ 1 cup fresh Thai basil (or regular basil)
✓ 3/4 cup fresh mint leaves
✓ 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
✓ 2 Thai bird chilies, thinly sliced
✓ 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, crushed
✓ 2 tbsp crispy fried shallots (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Combine butter base: In a medium bowl, whisk together light coconut cream, cashew butter, Greek yogurt, and softened butter until smooth and creamy. No lumps should remain.

2. Build the aromatic layers: Add minced garlic, fish sauce, lime zest, lime juice, and red chili flakes to the butter mixture. Whisk vigorously for 1 minute until well combined and fragrant.

3. Taste and adjust: Sample on a rice cracker. Add more fish sauce for umami depth, lime juice for brightness, or chili flakes for heat. The butter should be assertively Thai-flavored.

4. Prepare the board: Arrange crispy rice crackers around the edges of a large wooden board or platter, leaving a 4-inch circle in the center for the butter.

5. Spread the butter board: Transfer the Thai butter mixture to the center of the board in a generous, rustic mound. Use the back of a spoon to create slight texture and dimension.

6. Layer the herbs: Scatter Thai basil, mint, and cilantro directly over and around the butter in loose piles. Distribute sliced bird chilies evenly for visual appeal and heat.

7. Add finishing touches: Top with crushed roasted peanuts and crispy fried shallots (if using). Drizzle any remaining lime juice over the board for brightness and to prevent browning.

8. Chill and serve: Refrigerate for 10 minutes so butter sets slightly but remains spreadable. Serve immediately with rice crackers. Butter should maintain structure for dipping yet yield easily to knife.
