My Favorite Hawaii Desserts

I'll be returning home to Hawaii for a short trip next month, so I started thinking about my favorite desserts from back home. It's been a few years since I've visited some of these places so recipes may have changed. Apple Turnovers-Napoleon's Bakery-Zippy's
Blueberry Cream Cheese Scones-Kapiolani Community College Baking Class. (Make friends with a Culinary Student)
Bread Pudding-Royal Hawaiian Hotel, Prince Hotel (close second)
Chichi Dango Mochi-Nisshido
Coco Puffs-Liliha Bakery
Coconut Cake- Ted's Bakery (not only are their pies delicious, but the cakes there are great!)
Key Lime Pie-Morton's (yeah, I know it's a chain restaurant, but it was so good!)
Kulolo-any place I can get it
Molten Chocolate Cake-Roy's Restaurant
Orange Chiffon Cake-Liliha Bakery , my friend's dad's cake
Palm Leaf Cookies-St. Germain Bakery (in Shirokiya or Ala Moana Shopping Center)
Pianomo Roll-Jesse's Bakery
Pumpkin Custard Pie-Sconee's
White Chantilly Cake (this used to be sold at Liberty House)-Prince Hotel

Ice Cream/Sherbets-too many places to choose from, I really like Dave's Lychee Sherbert, and on Oahu, Samurai Shave Ice's Maui-Style Sherbet
Shave Ice-too many places to choose from. At the moment, Shimazu's might be my top choice. Waiola's is good too.



As you can tell, I have a major sweet tooth. I'm sure I am missing a bunch of desserts that I really enjoy.

What are your favorite Hawaii desserts? Or if you think there is another shop/restaurant/bakery that has a better one, let me know, and then I'll go check it out in September. :)
