When we were in Kauai (you can read all about that trip HERE), one of our most favorite desserts was the Hula Pie from Duke’s Cafe. It was glorious – I mean, just look at that thing! With the twins here we don’t have any trips to Kauai planned for the near future, so I recreated my own version of this Hawaiian specialty at home. It turned out just as delicious, although it wasn’t quite the same eating it at my counter as it is eating on a beautiful island. 😉
Copycat Hula Pie Recipe
This copycat Hula Pie is a favorite every time we are in Hawaii. Now you can make it from the comfort of your own home when you're missing your favorite island! 😉
Serving
Ingredients
Crust:
- 24 oreos, finely crushed
- ¼ cup butter, melted
Filling:
- ½ gallon vanilla ice cream, softened (or macadamia nut if you can find it!)
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
Topping (optional):
- whipped cream
- hot fudge
- macadamia nuts, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- In a small bowl, mix together oreos and butter and press them into the bottom of a greased 9" pie pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven, and let it cool completely.
- In a large bowl, mix together softened vanilla ice cream and macadamia nuts. Pour ice cream mixture into pie pan, then top with drizzled hot fudge, whipped cream, and a few more macadamia nuts.
- Place in the freezer for 3-4 hours, letting it thaw for about 5-10 minutes before serving (that will make it a lot easier to cut!).

When making the Hula Pie, do I use one 1/2 gallon carton of ice cream or 1 and 1/2 gallon of ice cream?
You use 1/2 gallon of ice cream.
Does the macadamia nut need to be roasted?
We did not roast our macadamia nuts.
