The Most Iconic Dessert in Every State

MSPhotographic / Getty Images

In good times and bad, people have always made desserts. Sweets are a treat that many of us look forward to, and throughout history, home cooks have created cakes, pastries, pies, and other decadent fare for their families and loved ones utilizing whatever ingredients were plentiful at the time. (This is the best donut shop in every state.)

Some traditional American dessert recipes were brought to the States by immigrants – the Japanese in Hawaii, the Danes in Wisconsin, the Czechs in Nebraska, etc. Some quintessential Southern desserts, like sweet potato pie, were created by slaves from West Africa who used sweet potatoes to replace the yams they grew back home.  

Before sugar was widely available, many households sweetened desserts with molasses, which led to the popularity of confections like molasses cookies and shoofly pie. Regionally produced ingredients like huckleberries, maple syrup, and key limes have also influenced the creation of local delicacies in small pockets of the U.S.    

Drawing on a variety of culinary websites and regional sites and cookbooks, 24/7 Tempo has compiled a list of the most iconic desserts in every state. Many of these are culinary traditions that have been passed down through generations locally and are little-known in other parts of the country – while others have gained nationwide and even international popularity. (Dessert and otherwise, here are the most iconic foods every state has given the rest of the U.S.)

Alabama: Lane cake

The official state dessert of Alabama, Lane cake first appeared in the 1890s when Emma Rylander Lane won a county fair baking competition with her original recipe for what was later termed “prize cake.” Lane cakes typically include three layers of white sponge with a filling of pecans, bourbon-soaked raisins, and coconut, often with a white icing on the top and/or sides.

Alaska: Agutuk (“Eskimo ice cream”)
> Where to get it: In a Native Alaskan home

A Yupik word meaning “mix them together,” agutuk is a native Alaskan food that is made a little differently in each household depending on seasonal ingredients. Traditionally composed of whipped animal tallow (caribou, moose, or walrus,) or seal oil mixed with snow, fresh berries, and sometimes dried fish or meat, agutuk is now often made with vegetable shortening instead of tallow and sometimes contains added sugar.

Arizona: Sopapillas

These pillowy soft, deep-fried dough squares are a Southwestern staple. They can be served sweet or savory, with the dessert version usually covered in powdered sugar or honey (or both).

Arkansas: Possum pie
> Where to get it: Patticakes Bakery (Conway)

A topping of whipped cream and pecans obscures a layer of chocolate pudding, which gives way to a layer of cream cheese filling in this dessert named after a rodent that likes to play dead. Called possum pie because of its deceptive layers, this Arkansas treat thankfully contains no possum.

Colorado: Trail mix
> Where to get it: Colorado Nut Company (Englewood)

High on the list of healthiest states in the U.S. is Colorado, with its plethora of outdoor adventure opportunities including mountain biking, hiking, and skiing.

Connecticut: Snickerdoodles
> Where to get it: Heirloom Market at Comstock Ferre (Wethersfield)

These crackle-topped cookies rolled in cinnamon sugar are the state cookie of Connecticut. The name snickerdoodle may have been passed down by German immigrants, as a derivation of “schneckennudeln” (a type of cinnamon roll), but other sources claim the name comes from a New England tradition of whimsical cookie names. Although their etymology is debatable, they have been a New England favorite for over a century.

Delaware: Strawberry shortcake
> Where to get it: Cannon’s Custom Cakes and Bakery (Newark)

Florida: Key lime pie
> Where to get it: Kermit’s Key West Key Lime Shoppe (Key West)

The key lime — a smaller, seedier lime with more acidity and flavor than the common Persian lime variety — is named for the Florida Keys. Most of the key limes in the U.S. are grown in Mexico or Central or South America, but they’re cultivated in the Keys, too, and wherever they come from, are used to flavor the official state pie of Florida. Key lime pie often comes with a graham crust and has a creamy filling made of sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and key lime juice. Whether it should be topped with meringue or whipped cream (or neither) is a debate we won’t get into.

Georgia: Peach pie
> Where to get it: Crave Pie Studio (Duluth and Alpharetta)

Thousands of acres of peaches are grown annually in Georgia, and the peach is Georgia’s official state fruit. Peach pies, therefore, are ubiquitous in this Southern locale, especially in July and August when the fruits ripen. Although Delaware claimed peach pie as its official state dessert in 2009, this flaky, fruity pastry is still the Peach State’s claim to fame.

> Where to get it: My Sugar Pie (Zionsville)

Sugar cream pie, or Hoosier pie, was dubbed the unofficial state pie of Indiana in 2009.

Iowa: Scotcheroos
> Where to get it: Beyond the Bar Bakery (Decorah)

The recipe for these no-bake dessert bars first appeared on Rice Krispies boxes in the 1960s, and they have been an Iowa favorite ever since. Scotcheroos resemble a peanut butter Rice Krispies Treat and get their name from their chocolate butterscotch topping.

Kansas: Peppernuts
> Where to get it: Main Street Café (Durham)

These small, anise-flavored spice cookies were brought to Kansas by European Mennonites. Similar to German pfeffernüsse, Dutch pepernoten, and Danish pebernødder, peppernuts are a holiday tradition in many Kansas homes and are made by rolling cookie dough into thin ropes and cutting it into bite-size pieces. Although recipes often vary, spices including anise, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and white pepper are traditionally used to flavor the cookies.

Kentucky: Derby-Pie®
> Where to get it: The Brown Hotel (Louisville)

This chocolate walnut pie, especially popular around Kentucky Derby time, was invented in the 1950s by the Kern Family, who decided on the name by pooling options and pulling one from a hat. Kern’s Kitchen pie company bakes over 100,000 of these pies every year and although the recipe is a well-guarded secret, the iconic pies are available at restaurants and retail stores across the state.

Louisiana: Bananas Foster
> Where to get it: Brennan’s (New Orleans)

This traditional New Orleans dessert, designed in the 1950s to make use of one of the city’s biggest imports, consists of bananas sautéed in sugar and butter, bathed in rum, and set alight, then served over vanilla ice cream with the pan sauce. The dish is named after Richard Foster, a local civic leader and friend of restaurateur Owen Brennan, in whose kitchen the dessert was invented.

Maine: Blueberry pie
> Where to get it: Mabel’s Lobster Claw (Kennebunkport)

Blueberry pie — made with wild Maine blueberries, of course — is the official state dessert of Maine. This double-crust or lattice-top pie highlights one the state’s most notable crops, which grow well in Maine’s rugged climate and rocky soil. Although blueberry pie is available all year long at many diners, restaurants, and bakeries around the state, the best time to have a slice is from July to September, when the berries are harvested and the pie is baked fresh.

Maryland: Smith Island cake
> Where to get it: Smith Island Bakery (Ewell)

An isolated Chesapeake Bay island only accessible by boat, Smith Island is home to a unique cultural heritage and a culinary tradition that created Maryland’s official state dessert. Smith Island cake is composed of at least seven layers of yellow cake separated by a boiled milk chocolate frosting. The original recipe is likely older than its first appearance in print (in “Mrs. Kitching’s Smith Island Cookbook,” published in 1981) and modern variations include a wide range of cake and frosting flavors.

Massachusetts: Boston cream pie
> Where to get it: Parker’s Restaurant, Omni Parker House (Boston)

Created at Boston’s famous Parker House hotel in the latter 19th century, Boston cream pie is not quite a pie, but rather two layers of sponge cake filled with a thick vanilla custard and topped with chocolate sauce.

With origins in Depression-era St. Louis, gooey butter cake was a regional Missouri treat until celebrity chef Paula Deen introduced a variation of the recipe to a national audience.

Whatever the recipe, this dense, sticky cake bar is always made with loads of butter.

Utah: Jell-O
