Kulolo (Hawaiian Pudding)

"This is a Hawaiian pudding made with taro, coconut, brown sugar, and coconut milk. Originally, kulolo was wrapped in ti leaves and baked in an underground oven called an imu. But, you can easily make this version in your oven at home. We made this for our Hawaiian Luau."

  1. Great Hawaiian dessert. The flavor is meant to be mild. Not too sweet or fruity. Just like its made in Hawaii. That what makes it so appealing. You can eat a lot of it.
     
  2. I've been looking for ways to try taro and this was a great choice! This is tasty and easy to make. I didn't have a fresh coconut so used packaged coconut and more coconut milk to make up the liquid. I think with fresh coconut this would be even better, however, I would probably still rate it a 4. The flavor is of sweet & coconut, and nothing else, which is good, but it would take more complexity of flavor for me to give it 5 stars. That's likely just a personal preference. I looked at other kulolo recipes and these are the only ingredients they had too, so obviously this is how it's supposed to taste.
