About the dish

Poʻe is a Tahitian fruit pudding that consists of a banana purée mixed with brown sugar and arrowroot or cornstarch. The mixture should be baked until the pudding is firm and bubbling. It is served chilled and cut into cubes, topped with a dollop of coconut cream. Some of the banana can be substituted with papaya, mango, pineapple, or other tropical fruits. This dessert is very popular and often found at traditional Tahitian tamara'a barbecues.
