INNOVATIONS IN DESSERTS
Dessert dumplings were a natural evolution. From apple turnovers to stuffed croissants, pastry chefs have long experimented with the combination of dough and sweet filling. The thin, delicate dumpling wrapper gives room for ample filling and endless possibilities. With consumers demanding interesting ethnic foods and unique ingredients, it was an obvious move for Chef One to add sweet flavors to their already exciting selection of dumplings.

Some of their best-selling flavors push the boundaries of the traditional dumpling, including Chicken with Lemongrass, Pork & Kimchi, Kale & Vegetable and Edamame. Their line also includes exciting roll flavors, like the new Philly Cheese Steak Egg Roll, Gochujang Chicken Egg Roll and Crab & Cheese Mini Spring Roll.
The dessert dumpling line, which includes Pumpkin Pie Dumplings (available Aug-Dec) and Sweet Potato Pie Dumplings (available year-round), offers restaurants and foodservice providers an easy to prepare dessert that can be plated in a variety of ways or prepared in bulk to serve a crowd.
