Heritage, reimagined.
What Is Tanghulu?
Tanghulu is a traditional Chinese candied fruit skewer — fresh whole fruit glazed in a thin, crackling sugar shell that shatters with every bite.
A Heritage Snack
Think of it as nature's candy, perfected: real fruit, a whisper of glaze, and a satisfying snap that has delighted people for generations. At Olivia's Tanghulu, we've reimagined this centuries-old tradition as a modern, premium dessert experience.
Light, fresh, and shareable
Naturally vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free. Lighter than a cupcake. More fun than a cookie. And impossible not to photograph. Made fresh daily using peak-season fruit and our signature crystal glaze.
The Signature Snap
"The signature crystal glaze shatters with every bite."
Peak-Season Fruit
Premium fruit selected at peak ripeness for natural sweetness, vibrant color, and a clean, refreshing bite — always the star, never hidden.
Handcrafted Signature Crunch
A whisper-thin sugar shell with a delicate crystal snap — light, crisp, and never dense.

Best enjoyed same day.
After that, the fruit naturally releases moisture and the shell may soften. It will still taste great later the same day, but the signature snap is always best fresh.
-
Keep refrigerated and enjoy the same day.
Tanghulu is made fresh daily — over time the sugar shell will naturally soften and lose its signature crunch.
