This sophisticated dessert makes the most of contrasting textures. The subtle floral flavor of wildflower honey connects all of the components.

Cooks' notes:

• To take the temperature of a shallow amount of syrup, put bulb of thermometer in saucepan and turn thermometer facedown, resting other end against rim of saucepan. Check temperature frequently. • Honey wafer batter and sesame toffee can be made 3 days ahead and chilled, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap.
