Review: Chocolate fix at Lappert’s Ice Cream

Lappert’s Ice Cream has always been a tradition for us.  We always get a few chocolate milkshakes and they were the highlight of the sweet treats we’d consume.  When we were over on Kauai we went to Lappert’s at Coconut Marketplace and the milkshake was incredibly runny, way more milk than ice cream used.  We chalked it up to the person wasn’t used to making them or something.  Then we had one at the Hanapepe location and ran into the same problem.  Oh, I see.  You’ll still charge $6 for a milkshake but now you’re going to jip me on the ice cream at all locations.  We almost crossed Lapperts off our list until we went to the Lappert’s that moved from Koloa town to the new Kukui’ula Shopping Center in Poipu.  We discovered something that is now something we obsess over…dark chocolate ganache gelato.

Yes, that’s delectable ganache poured over the top of the dark chocolate gelato.  It is one of those simple pleasures in life that makes you sink back in your chair and smile.  Gelato is much more dense than ice cream so the chocolate flavor is much more intense.  You add the silky, rich texture of the ganache to it and you have the best chocolate treat you’ve ever had.

So while we can no longer recommend the chocolate milkshakes, we have to overwhelmingly recommend regardless of where you’re staying on Kauai, head on down to Kukui’ula Shopping Center in Poipu to enjoy Lappert’s Dark Chocolate Ganache Gelato.  Enjoy one for us!
