How to Make Kulolo Hawaiian Pudding

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked taro, coconut milk, brown sugar, and shredded coconut. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly.
Cover the loaf pan tightly with foil.
Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for a further 15-20 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the Kulolo cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
