Recently, I made, and posted, Sweet Adzuki Bean Paste for Icy Cold Sweet Popsicles.
My leftover red bean paste inspired an intense search for more unique dessert ideas. For sure, there is Mochi in the near future, but there is so much more to do with this delightful Asian staple.

Here are some of my FAVORITE finds, along with links to recipes. If you make any of these, please tell us about it!
