By Marquerite Velasquez


Every state has its own official motto, flag and animal, but some states have a special official food or dessert. Here are just a few examples of special sweet treats that are beloved by the inhabitants of some of our individual states.

For starters, you should know that Florida has a state pie and that is the Key lime pie. Key limes found throughout the famous Florida Keys are the main ingredient for this tart, meringue-topped dessert. Since the late 1800s this famous pie has been made by Floridians however it was only officially named as the state pie come 2006.

Several other states also have official state pies. Maine's state fruit is the blueberry and the state pie is the blueberry pie. Maine also has an official state treat, which is the Whoopie Pie. The world's largest Whoopie Pie, which weighed more than 1,000 pounds, was creating in Maine. Massachusetts also has a state pie, the Boston cream pie, which is actually a cake comprised of layers of sponge cake separated by vanilla custard and topped with a chocolate glaze. Massachusetts also has a state cookie, the chocolate chip cookie.

Sweet treats are truly enjoyed by some more states. The blueberry muffin was named as Minnesota's official state muffin. The state cookie of New Mexico is a rather unique treat which is flavored with cinnamon and anise - the bizcochito. As for Utah, it may not have an official dessert but its state snack food is Jell-O. Missouri as well has an official state dessert and that is the ice cream cone which was popularized after the St. Louis World Fair back in 1904.

Maybe California has no official food or dessert but it does not take away the fact that citizens of the Golden State extremely love treats too. Proof is that it is in the area of Los Angles that you can find several ice treats and frosty treats too in its Culver City ice cream shop, YoKuMon. Their offers come in a wide range of ice cream, shakes, sundaes and shave ice but they are also famed for that signature $2 ice cream sandwich that is gourmet.

You can't find these ice cream sandwiches like these on a supermarket freezer shelf. YoKuMon's signature sandwiches are created using homemade cookies that are baked freshly throughout the day. Customers select their favorite type of cookie and their favorite flavor of ice cream and their custom ice cream sandwich is made to order. There a dozen flavors of ice cream and cookie flavors such as red velvet, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip and several more.
