I am bummed, but I will find another recipe and try again!
www.mauifarmlet...
Wikipedia says: Hawaiian dessert made primarily from mashed taro corms and either grated coconut meat or coconut milk. Considered a pudding, kulolo has a solid consistency like fudge and is often served cut into squares. Its consistency is also described as being chewy and lumpy like tapioca, and its taste something like caramel. I don't know about it tasting like caramel. Just think coconut milk and brown sugar, just slightly more earthy. That's about the best I can do.
4 cups taro root, grated
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup honey
1 cup coconut milk
2 ti leaves
Mix all the ingredients together.
Line a bread baking pan with foil, and then with ti leaves. After pouring in the kulolo, cover the top with ti leaves and foil before baking for 2 hours in 400 degrees. Remove the foil and top layer of ti leaves for the last 30 minutes to allow the kulolo to brown.
I do not think that I got the taro grated down as small as it should have been. I bought the taro pieced so grating would have been horrible. I will see an entire root so I can grate it properly and try again, promise. So many people have requested that I make kulolo. Try & try again!

I wonder if it was the honey that made it mush. Can't wait to see the next attempt. I like that you always show a fail. It also keeps someone else from trying that recipe. :-)

DANG PEOPLE ARE HATING SO BADLY THEY SAY 'OH WHY WOULD YOU POST A FAILED VIDEO' THEN WHY DID YOU WATCH IT IF IT SAYS FAIL IN THE TITLE THEN MAKE RUDE COMMENTS LIKE SERIOUSLY NO COMMON SENSE if you make and post a failed video then that means we wont fail and try the recipe. this is y its helpfull to ME!

[@RamonaQ]

I agree with the others who said they appreciate the fact that you post your "fails". I'm not sure if anyone else even does that, but it's helpful!

[@runwader]

it kinda looked like mushy bodbod or kulolo tapioca. you didn't mention how it tasted. it only failed because it didn't meet your expectations, but if it taste good, then consider it a new creation. where is the next try?

[@anacletasteffen6405]

Aloha from Lebanon, IL. Mahalos plenty for posting the fail. Certainly that is a lesson too. I love your positive attitue and look forward to seeing your next attempt.

[@snarkdetriomphe]

hey kid, the taro looks pretty.

[@wildheart5]

I'm sorry this did not come out as you had hoped. Yes, give it a try again. I would love to see it in it's final version cause the ingredients are so yummy.

[@littlemonk2610]

One thing I remember about my grandfather's kulolo was that it was never deeper than 1 inch thick. Not sure if that would help, but it was always in shallow pan.

[@Pattydole70]

I loved this video because in reality this is how we learn what to and what not to do in cooking. I can imagine that it tasted ok, just didn't turn out the way that you would have liked. Love your vids.

[@CharmaineDuvauchelle]

Mahalo for showing us what NOT to do ;) Going to try making kulolo too, so appreciate your efforts! Aloha!

[@TheMuggleworld]

woooooowww! Great job! You deserve a gold star!!

[@LacquerandlaceVintageatheart]

Interesting can't wait to see you make a winner!

[@imperceptibleme]

Aww, I hate that it was a fail. I hope you find you a good recipe! Hugs!

[@Hellzap0ppin]

aw, sorry it was a fail...kulolo sounds really interesting, i'm looking forward to your next try =)

[@boylebongo]

5:05 "This doesn't look like what I'm used to". Me, spazzing on the floor: "no - it doesn't!" :PP

[@Seraphime001]

I wish it was 86 degrees here :( its been almost two weeks of solid 105+ weather in southern Illinois.. I love your videos even if I cant always get the stuff needed for them

[@snarkdetriomphe]

can't wait to see your next try! you WILL do it! :)

[@lakegirl645]

I just love your attitude!! You'll get it next time! :) xx

[@99iwaena]

Well, at least you tried & made the effort! In the late 50's to early 90's, my dad made Kulolo every time when we made the Imu to kalua pig! Most of my family didn't pay much attention to the measurements ratio of the Kulolo recipe! But, now since my dad has pass away, no one knows the exact measurement. All I know is he added Diamond Head Strawberry Soda, I kid you not, it gave a nice reddish color and exceptional taste!

[@CookingAndCrafting]

that is awesome! The sugar content helped too, I'm sure!

[@evilapplepie]

what is taro exactly?

[@hiyasweets]

Who cares what others think. You tried and it didn't work out that is not a failure but a lesson.

[@aquaticneko2007]

i think this is almost the same dish as the one we call blue draws in jamaica. The only difference is the filling is completely wrapped in banana leaves and then steamed, not baked. It makes a very dense but yummilicous goodie. lol keep trying beth! that's how we learn :)

[@elsakekahuna8023]

You can steam it in the insta pot too...

[@elsakekahuna8023]

I do the same way and use food processor. You have to cool at room temperature and then put in the fridge for it to harden prior to trying to remove from pan. That's what happens because still hot.

[@elsakekahuna8023]

By the way that is the wrong blade to grind the taro with.

[@dprsp1]

Well did it taste good though

[@veolettina]

Aw too bad it was a fail, it sounds like it would be delish! Yes it sounds like very finely ground and fully lined would work :)

[@MistressElodie]

This may seem like a stupid question, but is the video supposed to be green and flashy at around the 5 min. mark, or is that just something going wrong with my computer? I'm new to watching this channel, so I realize that the green flashing might be Beth's "thing" on fail videos, but I just don't know, anyone able to help me out?

[@Rac411]

Wht the hell was the green fast

[@SusanWBeauty]

And this is how we learn,this sounds interesting though! : )

[@haakoa8084]

No need the honey

[@DeeNeenee]

Honestly I think most of the problem might have been leaving the Ti leaf on after the first 1 and half hours. I've never cooked this of course but i do know when I want to dry something out a bit I take the stuff off the top. I don't know probably has nothing to do with it just a thought. : ) Looks kinda like those yummy yummy girl scout cookies. Should've rolled some cookies in the final product. Yum yum!

[@lrein077]

Your fail looked ʻono. It resembled sticky pudding. If at first you don't succeed, then try try again. Holomua!

[@lacytexeira]

Ok the recipe at aloha world says to steam for 4-6 hrs... And i just asked my mom how my uncle rex does it and she said he steams it for hours... I would try that same recipe again but next time steam it...

[@malosi]

aloha sistah!! well you did a great job!! maybe the people went give false recipe. well kulolo is the best!! i lalalalalove it esp. from kauai!! but you can also use mango since mango is in season or almost pau or banana

[@maybeeme220]

Are you gonna video tape your next try? I sure hope so!

[@BraddahTatzLyfe]

i make it with pa'i 'ai from daniel anthony from mana ai...

[@thizizliz]

Is it supposed to be like a bread consistency? Did it taste right? Or was it too icky to even try? Yeah, grating those little pieces would have been an EPIC fail. I say good try. People who really want to learn will get as much from the fails as from successes. Haters gonna hate but they are the losers.

[@veolettina]

Pg 2 , plus maybei f you used coconut meat, instead of the milk, it would give it a harder consistency, good luck! YOu do come up with the best sounding desserts!

[@boylebongo]

well the video flashes crazy green at that point and i had a mock epileptic seizure. ;) ahehe

[@roosterman98]

taro taste kinda like a mildly sweet potato.

[@BraddahTatzLyfe]

i have a good kulolo recipe i will message it to you...

[@DeeNeenee]

Oh ok I only said that because in the vid it looked like you might have left it on for the last 1/2 hour. Idk it got all green and jumpy at the point.

[@HerMajestyTheLlama]

At least now i see how it's not meant to look :P

[@lacytexeira]

My moms crack head cousin makes really good kulolo but he's a crack head and only makes kulolo when he's not flying high... I do know that he steams his kulolo in a steamer and he uses all the ingredients you had there... What if you tried baking in it a water bath? or buy a small steamer? I have a recipe I found on aloha world I will post it here so you can look at it....

[@Suziequuu8]

what the heck are doing up at 2 am?

[@Cod3Nation]

If at first you don't succeed, try try again! :)

[@TheMuggleworld]

Haha!! Smooth!

[@Anonymoose]

If you tried grating that, you'd have more finger in there than taro. Without digging into comments, it appears that you've picked up a wacko or two. Isn't it fun to be popular? LOL I'm obviously clueless about how this recipe is *supposed* to work, but it just looks to me like there's nothing in there that would cause it to turn "brownie-like." Like flour or something? Or maybe the taro is supposed to do that? I dunno...

[@05didi50]

HK sent me!!!

[@AGFUNINTHESUN]

awe i wish the recipe would work ;(

[@leahr5872]

LOL.... my kulolo looked worst then yours believe me and it tasted yucky too,,, yours looks way closer to how it suppose to look
