Meet Pastry Chef Lani, the mind behind some of Hotel Wailea’s most unforgettable finales. Her Poni Cheesecake says everything about how she works: ube, sweet potato basque cheesecake, banana whip, brûléed banana, inspired by the beloved pumpkin crunch and built to make that last bite the one you can’t stop thinking about. She designs every dessert with one goal: to send you home already planning your return. The Poni Cheesecake does exactly that.
