Aloha Max,
I don't live anywhere near Hawaii yet but hubby has been
transferred there as soon as the time is right. But Here are a couple
of low carb treats I like and I'm a diabetic so they must not raise my
sugars either. Give these a try.
Meringue Shell Lemon Pie (24-40 g carb total)
With Easy Lemon Curd
Filling:
This is an excellent
recipe and if you want something fun and fancy, pour the lemon curd in
home-made (low-carb) meringue cups.
This is one method:

further, no-sugar lemonade dry mix disolved in 3 Tbsp water can be
substituted for lemon juice. or use Cadbury's lemon
liquid.

5 grams per serving with lemon juice; 3 grams with

the ingredients together but it turned out quite well and pleased
everyone I served it to. Give it a try.

Is anyone familiar with any no/low carb stores on the island? I use to
go to one in Kailua that closed. I'm craving a cake with no carbs :)
