Transport your senses to the islands in this hands-on class inspired by the beloved Portuguese-style doughnut made famous in Hawai‘i—malasadas. Light, airy, and perfectly golden, these pillowy treats are rolled in sugar and served warm for an irresistible bite.

In this class, you’ll learn how to create authentic malasada dough from scratch, mastering the techniques for proper fermentation, shaping, and frying to achieve that signature soft interior and delicate crisp exterior.

We’ll elevate this classic by preparing a luscious tropical mango custard filling, made with fresh, vibrant flavors that perfectly complement the rich dough. You’ll practice filling your malasadas like a pro and explore flavor balance, texture, and presentation.

By the end of class, you’ll have the confidence to recreate these island favorites at home—perfect for brunches, special occasions, or simply indulging your sweet tooth.
