Summary

  • Hello Kitty Island Adventure offers a variety of recipes to cook, with some being simple and others more intricate, requiring specific ingredients and appliances.
  • Acquiring and crafting certain recipes can help level up friendships with companions in the game, making them valuable for building relationships.
  • Each character in the game has different favorite dishes, so it's important to know which recipes are the best gifts for each character to maximize friendship points.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure is all about happy, cozy feelings, such as what comes from activities like cooking and baking yummy recipes. This is not only a fun craft, but it comes with some beneficial uses for making friends. For collectors trying to get everything in the game, there are a total of 96 cooking recipes for food, drinks, and potions, which each require the use of certain appliances, ingredients, and recipes. Some recipes are pretty simple, while others can become fairly intricate and use many ingredients or require things that are only gained after leveling up a Friendship Level with a certain character high enough.

It can sound a bit daunting to find all 96 recipes in Hello Kitty Island Adventure and learn how to make them while they are spread across up to five different appliances. Focusing on acquiring the recipes and means for certain ones is a better place to start, as some of the food and drinks are ideal for leveling up friendships with companions in the game. These may be a few of the more difficult food items to make, but are the perfect three-star gifts when given to the right friend.

10 Banana Ice Cream

Banana Ice Cream is a useful and versatile recipe to get and make, particularly as it works as a one-star level gift for Pompompurin, Tuxedo Sam, and Badtz-Maru, so it's good to always have some on hand. It is made at the Dessert Machine, which is unlocked after players repair it as part of Pompompurin's quests. This simple ice cream only requires Cactus Cream and Banana, so it isn't too difficult to craft and magically never seems to melt in Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

9 Chocolate Balls

Chocolate Balls are an easy recipe to make and can be crafted in the Oven inside Hello Kitty's Café, but it doesn't need to be upgraded prior to making this simple dessert. Chocolate Balls require only Flour and a Chocolate Coin, and once made, are good one-star gifts for Cinnamoroll, Chococat, and Hello Kitty herself. Though not a three-star gift for anyone, having a few of these on hand makes a convenient gift for any of those three characters.

8 Pochacco Energy Pop

Pochacco has a focus on health and loves anything to do with fitness. Therefore, it is not a surprise that his favorite gift is the Pochacco Energy Pop, which will give three stars towards raising friendship with him. Although it sounds less than delicious, it is made with Fizzy Crystal, Tofu, and Spinip. Unlocking the Soda Machine in Hello Kitty Island Adventure also requires working on friendship levels with Pompompurin and then working to repair it using Fizzy Crystals that can be obtained from the nearby mine.

7 Mama's Pudding

Pompompurin's favorite three-star gift is the adorable Mama's Pudding. It does require leveling up Pompompurin a bit before being able to use the Dessert Machine, but then once this appliance is repaired, it can be used to create many puddings and ice creams. Mama's pudding uses Cactus Cream, Banana, and Coral Milk. In addition to being worth three stars when given to Pompompurin, this tasty pudding will also provide one star if gifted to Pekkle.

6 Pink Clouds Ice Cream

Pink Clouds Ice Cream is a very special dessert that is the favorite three-star gift for My Melody. Like Hello Kitty Island Adventure's Banana Ice Cream, it is made in the Dessert Machine on Pompompurin's Dessert Boat after reaching Friendship Level 13 with him. Pink Clouds Ice Cream is made using Cactus Cream, Sakura, and Candy Cloud, but once created, is the fastest gift for leveling up friendship with My Melody and also works as a one-star gift for Pompompurin, Lala, and Kiki.

5 Pumpkin Spice Soda

As a fan of all things autumn and spooky, it should be no surprise that a favorite three-star gift for Kuromi uses pumpkin spice. The Pumpkin Spice Soda requires the use of the Soda Machine and is crafted by combining Fizzy Crystal, Cinna Bloom, and Pumpkin. Although nobody else seems to be a fan of the Pumpkin Spice Soda, it is the best gift for Kuromi, who has an autumn theme to all of her favored gifts.

4 Beignet With Pineapple Dip

The Beignet With Pineapple Dip is not a three-star recipe for anyone but is a one or two-star gift for several of the characters, including TOPHAT. This item is made in Hello Kitty's Café at the Oven once it has been upgraded to be able to make three-ingredient recipes. It is crafted with Flour, Pineapple, and Candy Cloud and is a two-star gift for Tuxedo Sam, and Hello Kitty and one-star for Badtz-Maru, My Melody, and TOPHAT. This is one of the few gifts for the game's AI host, TOPHAT, that is not computer-related.

3 Red Bow Apple Pie

The Red Bow Apple Pie is a three-star gift for the one and only titular character of Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Hello Kitty herself. This yummy pie is made in the upgraded Oven and uses Flour, Apple, and Magma Bloom to make. In addition to Hello Kitty, it is another good one-star gift for TOPHAT and Tuxedo Sam.

2 Ultimate Joke Pizza

Badtz-Maru is a bit picky when it comes to getting gifts, but his favored three-star is a special pizza called the Ultimate Joke Pizza. This pizza is also worth one star when given to Tuxedosam and is made using Dough, Pineapple, and Tofu. The pizza oven is an appliance that is unlocked after leveling up the friendship with Retsuko.

1 Chocolate Chai Latte

Cinnamoroll is the hardest to raise friendship with because he constantly moves around but gets three stars towards friendship levels when gifted a Chocolate Chai Latte. The Espresso Machine is found underwater inside the Comedy Club in Rainbow Reef, and the Chocolate Chai can actually be made using either Candlenut, Chocolate Coin, and Cinna Bloom or Candlenut, Chocolate Coin, and Magma Bloom. It is a good idea to carry one of these Chocolate Chais around when coming across Cinnamoroll in Hello Kitty Island Adventure due to the difficulty in tracking him down all the time.
