About Hawaiian kūlolo
Kūlolo is a traditional Hawaiian dessert based on kalo, or taro, and coconut. This profile follows Ono Hawaiian Recipes' three-ingredient steamed version.
Taro supplies an earthy, gently nutty foundation, while coconut milk gives richness and raw sugar brings caramel-like sweetness.
After its long steam and complete cooling, kūlolo is dark, moist and dense, with a firm yet sticky, fudge-like chew.
