Ono Ice Creams !

Ono means "tastes good" in hawaiian, and Dave's hawaiian ice creams are a good example of what ono means. Made locally, the ice creams comes in unique flavors like haupia (coconut pudding), macademia nuts, ube (sweet potato), lychee, coconut macademia, hawaiian mud pie...the list goes on.
Today I made a special detour to the shop in Waimanolo, HI, to try three flavors (picture below). In purple blue is ube, made from the purple sweet potato. It has a sweet taste, but not too strong, and the flavor is truly unique to Hawaii. A must try ! In white is lychee sherbert, too sugary for my taste. Underneath is toasted macademia nut. Very good mac ice cream with lots of toasted nut chunks, highly recommended.
