The Best Dessert Toppings To Use This Summer

Using Bubble Tea Toppings in Desserts

Bubble tea, sometimes called boba tea, is made with tea, milk, sugar, and tapioca pearls. Beyond drinks, you can experiment with bubble tea toppings in desserts to create exciting tastes and textures. Below are some popular ideas to get you started.

Tapioca Pearls 

Tapioca pearls are the classic bubble tea garnish, but they also work well in cakes, puddings, or ice cream. Our new quick-cook tapioca pearls make preparation easy, taking just 10 minutes. They are available in original and brown sugar flavours, giving you flexible options for your desserts.

Coconut Jelly

Fruit-flavoured coconut jellies add a soft texture and a burst of fruity taste to cheesecakes, trifles, or fruit salads. Our selection includes lychee, mango, strawberry, apple, pineapple, and grape flavours, making it simple to find the perfect match for your creation.

 

Jams

We offer premium fruit jams crafted by skilled Taiwanese producers. Rich in texture and flavour, they contain high levels of juice and pulp, with seeds added for authenticity. These jams work beautifully as a spread for toast or waffles, or stirred into yoghurt or ice cream. Flavours include strawberry, passionfruit, mango, peach, grapefruit and passion fruit pulp.

Popping Boba

These tiny juice-filled balls burst with flavour when eaten. They are excellent in yoghurt parfaits, ice cream, or cakes for an added fruity kick. Choose from passionfruit, mango, pineapple, green apple, strawberry, and more.

Seeds

Our high-quality seed snacks, including pumpkin, sunflower, and watermelon seeds, add crunch and a unique taste to frozen yoghurt, puddings, fruit salads, or granola mixes.

 

Grass Jelly

Grass jelly, made from the Chinese Mesona plant, adds a distinctive flavour and texture to puddings or shaved ice. It also pairs beautifully with sweet syrup or coconut milk for a refreshing summer treat.

Either make your own jelly using our herbal jelly powder, or use our grass jelly right out of a can.

 

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera has a mildly sweet taste and calming effects. You can blend it into smoothies for a cool touch or add it to desserts like sorbets and fruit salads.

 

Coffee Jelly

Coffee jelly combines coffee and gelatine for a slightly bitter taste. It balances sweeter desserts such as ice cream or yoghurt, giving your creations depth and flavour.

 

Red Bean

Sweetened red beans can be added to pancakes, ice cream, buns, and traditional Asian delicacies such as tangyuan. Their earthy sweetness complements many dessert types.
