Although Five Spice may be most fervently remembered for Sesame Peanut Noodles, Siu Mai, Pad Thai, or any of a few hundred other Asian-inspired dishes, their desserts were often the not-so-secret reason we walked out of the restaurant at the end of a meal saying, “Wow, that was great.”
We’ve shared a few of the iconic recipes so far – like the Ginger-Tangerine Cheesecake, the Blackout Cake, and (my personal favorite) the Lemon Chocolate Chocolate Cheesecake.
We’ve gathered the remaining cake-and-pie stragglers and convened them here.
