The Story Behind Coconut Cream Dessert

Coconut cream with tropical fruit is the simplest and most traditional Nauruan dessert. Before sugar was widely available, the natural sweetness of coconut and ripe fruit was sufficient.

The dish requires no cooking and can be assembled in minutes, making it ideal for the tropical climate.

This dessert celebrates the natural bounty of Nauru's fruit trees.
