Relive the lost moments of childhood and turn your youth into a merry making spree with rich and flavoursome Hawaiian ice creams. Collected from across the world, the Hawaiian ice creams and shave ice are some of the most enticing items that the locals and the tourists relish with zealous excitement.

Here are 6 bountiful flavours straight from the Hawaiian streets.

1.  Adzuki Beans:

Though a Japanese speciality, the adzuki beans owe their origin to the valleys around China and Northern Himalayas. Available in a variety of colours, the Hawaiian ice creams and shaves use white, red and grey ones more prominently. 


It looks like vanilla, but has a rather exotic flavour. Adzuki bean ice cream is the perfect beach-side evening stuff you can enjoy with Apple crumbs.

2.  Hawaiian Li Hing:

A salty dried plum, it is a Chinese flavour but now has its new address in Hawaiian streets. Rightly called the “Traveling plum’, Li Hing flavoured ice creams deliver a sweet-salty pique that most individuals love to indulge in! 


Often serves with haupia, Li Hing flavour has toasted coconuts and cinnamon to turn it into a crunchy affair.

3.  Lilikoi:

The joy of munching on a cone of lilikoi is unbeatable. A kind of passion fruit variety, lilkoi is distinctly identified from other passion fruit flavours by its pulpy taste and yellow tart-like appearance. Ice creams in Hawaii use lilkoi seeds as well, for that crunchy bite, and it has a great compatibility with other ice-cream ingredients like vanilla, chocolate, butterscotch and brown sugar.


In Hawaii, Lilikoiice creams and custards are winners all the way up.

4.  Kona Coffee:

You just can’t miss the royalty of a Kona coffee ice cream. Grown on the slopes of Hualalai and Mauna Lao in Kona District of Big Islands in Hawaii, Kona is the most expensive coffee in the world! 


Also called Kope, Kona coffee ice creams are prepared using a mix of other popular coffee brews like Brazilian, Jamaican and Cuban. Major ingredients used in the coffee ice creams are whey extracts, guar gum, carob bean gum and caramel.

5.  Java Plum:

A very exotic variety of plum found in Hawaii, the yoghurts and ice creams available in this flavour are not just mouth-watering but also considered godly in its appearance. Relished in its seeded as well as de-seeded versions, java plum looks very similar to the black currants but has a tangy flavour. Other popular items made out of java plum in Hawaii are puddings, mousse and sherbets. 


6.  Strawberry guava:

Exclusive to the Big Island of Hawaii, the wild strawberry guavas is used to prepare flavoured Hawaiian beverages, yoghurts and ice creams. Also called as Cherry guava, the juicy pulp is used to make jelly like ice creams and often considered as a potent replacement for coffee.


Apart from these exotic flavours in Hawaiian ice creams, the likes of Black Sesame, Hawaiian Mocha, lychees, Sugai mangoes also make a wonderful list of fruity appetisers.
