Category overview

Ugly Dumpling desserts — cheesecake, lava cookie & peanut butter bomb.

Dessert at Ugly Dumpling is a deliberate category — not an afterthought list of generic sweets, but four items that each earn their place on the menu. The NY Style Cheesecake is the crowd-pleaser: recognizable, creamy, with a graham-cracker crust that holds its structure to the last bite. The Peanut Butter Bomb is for the table that wants something bold — a chocolate shell cracked open to reveal a peanut-butter cream filling.

The Chocolate Chica Lava Cookie is a warm dessert served fresh from the oven — a molten-center chocolate cookie that's best eaten within minutes of arrival. It's the kind of dessert that justifies leaving room after a full table of dumplings and wok dishes. And the rotating Ice Cream ($5) covers the table's lighter appetites — ask your server for today's flavor.

Three of the four desserts are priced at $8, making a shared dessert round one of the better-value ways to close a group dinner. At $5, the Ice Cream is the right call when the table is full but one person still wants something sweet.

Dessert + drink pairings

How to finish the meal right.

The right dessert and drink pairing turns the last course into the most memorable one.

1

Lava Cookie + Brown Sugar Boba

The Chocolate Chica Lava Cookie paired with an Brown Sugar Boba is the sweetest combination on the menu. The brown sugar caramel notes echo the deep chocolate of the cookie. Order the boba first — it arrives faster and you'll want something to sip while the cookie bakes.

2

Cheesecake + Lemon Tea

NY cheesecake is rich and dense — a cold, citrus-forward drink cuts through the fat and prevents palate fatigue. Lemon Tea with the NY Style Cheesecake follows the classic "citrus + cream" logic of a lemon cheesecake, but keeps the two components separate so each shines independently.

3

Peanut Butter Bomb + Milk Tea

The roasted, slightly bitter notes of a classic Milk Tea cut through the sweetness of the Peanut Butter Bomb the same way black coffee cuts through a peanut butter cup. The tannins in the tea act as a palate reset between bites.

4

Ice Cream + Iced Tea

The simplest pairing — Ice Cream and Iced Tea is the light, uncomplicated close to a meal. Best when you've already eaten a full round of dumplings and wok dishes and want just a small sweet note without committing to a $8 signature dessert.

What to know

Ordering dessert at Ugly Dumpling — key facts.

About the Lava Cookie

The Chocolate Chica Lava Cookie is made to order and baked fresh. It takes a few minutes longer than the other desserts — order it when you place your main course so it arrives at the right time. The molten center is time-sensitive: eat it within 2–3 minutes of arrival before the lava sets.

  • Baked fresh per order — not pre-made
  • Molten center lasts ~3 minutes after plating
  • Best eaten with a spoon, not a fork
  • Contains: wheat, milk, egg, chocolate
  • ~480 calories per serving

Sharing strategy

All four desserts are single-portion items but are designed to be shareable at a table of two or three. The Peanut Butter Bomb in particular works well as a table split — it's rich enough that half a portion per person is satisfying. The Cheesecake is the easiest to split cleanly.

  • Best for sharing: NY Style Cheesecake (clean cut), Peanut Butter Bomb (rich enough to split)
  • Eat solo: Lava Cookie (time-sensitive, loses texture when shared slowly)
  • Best for kids: Ice Cream (rotating flavor, familiar format)
  • Group table: order 2–3 different desserts and share all three

Allergen quick reference

  • NY Style Cheesecake — wheat (crust), milk, egg
  • Peanut Butter Bomb — peanuts, milk, chocolate; not safe for peanut allergies
  • Chocolate Chica Lava Cookie — wheat, milk, egg, chocolate
  • Ice Cream — milk, egg; flavor-dependent — ask server
  • No vegan options in the current dessert menu
  • No gluten-free options in the current dessert menu

Ordering math

  • One dessert, two people: share the Cheesecake or Peanut Butter Bomb — $8 split two ways
  • Full table dessert round (4 people): 2 shared desserts = $16 — the right amount
  • Lightest finish: Ice Cream ($5) — ~280 cal, lowest price, no heavy commitment
  • Most indulgent finish: Lava Cookie + Brown Sugar Boba = $14 — the full sweet experience
  • Peanut allergy at the table: skip the Peanut Butter Bomb entirely — cross-contamination risk

FAQs

Ugly Dumpling Dessert Menu — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most popular dessert at Ugly Dumpling?
The Chocolate Chica Lava Cookie is the most talked-about dessert — it's made to order, served warm, and the molten chocolate center makes it visually dramatic and texturally distinctive. The NY Style Cheesecake is the most ordered by volume because of its broad appeal.
Is the lava cookie really served warm?
Yes — the Chocolate Chica Lava Cookie is baked fresh per order and arrives warm with a genuinely molten center. The molten effect lasts only a few minutes after plating, so eat it quickly. If you let it sit too long, the center firms up and you lose the lava experience.
Can I request a specific ice cream flavor?
The Ice Cream flavor rotates and is set by the kitchen each day. You can't request a specific flavor in advance, but you can ask your server what's available when you order. If the current flavor doesn't appeal to you, the other desserts are all $8 and offer more predictable flavor profiles.
Are any desserts gluten-free or vegan?
None of the current desserts are gluten-free or vegan. All four contain dairy (milk), and three contain eggs. The Cheesecake and Lava Cookie contain wheat from their crusts/base. If you have dietary restrictions, the Beverages menu offers vegan-friendly sweet options like Honey Lemonade.
Is the Peanut Butter Bomb safe for nut allergies?
No — the Peanut Butter Bomb contains peanuts and is not safe for anyone with a peanut allergy. Cross-contamination in the kitchen is also possible for other desserts. If anyone at your table has a nut allergy, inform your server when ordering.
