What could anyone possibly have wrong with a deep-fried sugared doughnut without a hole? Not quite the same, but close enough to please skeptical or picky eaters, the malasada is a first Portuguese and then Hawaiian classic dessert. Malasadas are made from butter, flour, and eggs, cooked then coated in a cinnamon sugar dusting. The ingredient ratios and frying technique make for a crispy, not crunchy, exterior with a soft, doughy interior.
Customization
With 16 different flavor fillings and 5 different coatings, Manual Malasada offers the largest variety of malasadas in San Diego. We offer flavors like haupia, lilikoi mango, Nutella, PB&J, ube cheesecake, bavarian cream, pineapple, and more. For coatings, we offer plain sugar, cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, li hing, and no sugar. With choices of 3,6, or 12, you can mix and match to your heart’s content. Every palate, including the pickiest eaters, is sure to be satisfied with our options.
Versatility
From picnics to baby showers, malasadas are the perfect finger foods to transport and snack on. The versatility is incredible with these desserts. Donuts have been trapped in the breakfast food domain, rendering them irrelevant for activities later than noon. But malasadas, a close cousin to our beloved donuts, haven’t been pigeonholed in the same way. A nighttime event featuring a platter of malasadas won’t garner the same judgment as that of a donut spread. With our varying box options, you can customize your purchase to fit the needs of your guests. All you have to do it place your order, pick it up and put it out and we can almost guarantee you’ll have empty boxes by the end of your event.
Convenience
Box it, bag it, then toss it. At Manuela Malasada, our treats come in boxes with several quantity options and offer options for large orders. All you have to do is come in, place your order and we’ll get you however many boxes you need. Take them to your event to share, or back home and eat them all yourself (we won’t judge). You won’t have to struggle with an easily smushable cake or ice cream sandwiches that will surely melt in transit. Malasadas are one the easiest desserts to acquire and transport. That’s why you see them at almost any traditional Hawaiian party you go to.
