Delicate and aromatic, these peach tartlets sing with the exotic warmth of Chinese five-spice. The sweet, juicy peaches are perfectly complemented by the blend of anise, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and fennel, creating a sophisticated and unforgettable dessert.

Recipe View 20 mins Bake in the preheated oven until the crusts are golden brown and the peaches are tender and bubbling, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. (20 minutes cooling)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of Amaretto liqueur to the peaches while they are cooling.
If you don't have Chinese five-spice powder, you can make your own blend by combining equal parts of ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground fennel seeds, ground star anise, and white pepper.
Serve the tartlets warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert.

    I didn't have peaches on hand, so I substituted nectarines. They were still delicious! This recipe is very versatile.

  • Margaret Feil

    These tartlets are amazing! The five-spice powder adds such a unique and delicious flavor. My family loved them!

  • Destany Gislason

    I followed the recipe exactly, and they turned out perfectly. The crust was flaky, and the peaches were perfectly cooked. Will definitely make these again!
