Korean Desserts

Korean desserts combine ancient tradition with modern creativity, resulting in a sweet food culture that is both deeply rooted and endlessly inventive. Classic Korean sweets like yakgwa honey cookies, sikhye sweet rice punch, and tteok rice cakes made with glutinous rice have been enjoyed for centuries. Today, Korean dessert cafes push the boundaries with towering bingsu shaved ice, smooth soft-serve matcha and taro ice creams, and inventive Korean street food sweets. Many traditional Korean desserts use naturally nourishing ingredients, honey, rice, sesame, red beans, and jujube, making them a healthier alternative to sugar-heavy Western desserts. Our collection of Korean dessert recipes celebrates both the timeless and the trendy, giving you everything you need to explore the wonderful world of Korean sweets at home.
