What Dessert is Hawaii Known For?

The cuisine of Hawaii is unique and diverse thanks to the many different settlers to the islands over the ages – from Polynesian voyagers to European and American missionaries, to immigrant workers from China, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Portugal.

Because if this fusion of cultures, you’ll find a variety of dishes!

One of the most famous desserts is Haupia, a traditional coconut milk-based Hawaiian dessert often found at luaus and other local gatherings. It’s a bit like a gelatin dessert, but without using actual gelatin.

Haupia is usually served in little squares , but sometimes as a custard-like pudding, or as an ingredient in other desserts such as a topping for pies or cakes.

Other Hawaiian desserts include: Malasadas (Portuguese donuts), Chantily Cake, Guri Guri (a cross between sorbet and ice cream) Pineapple Upside Down Cake, Ambrosia, Guava Cake, Hawaiian Shaved Ice, Macadmia Nut Bars, and more!
