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.

-
Tanghulu is a traditional Chinese candied fruit skewer — fresh fruit glazed in a thin, crisp sugar shell that snaps with every bite. It's lighter than candy, fresher than baked desserts, and naturally vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free. At Olivia's Tanghulu, we handcraft each skewer daily using peak-season fruit and our signature crystal glaze.
-
Tanghulu is one of the lighter dessert options available — it's made with whole, fresh fruit and a thin sugar glaze, with no artificial colors, no dairy, no gluten, and no nuts. It's not a diet food, but compared to cupcakes, cookies, or candy, it's a noticeably fresher and lighter way to satisfy a sweet craving.

Best enjoyed same day, ideally within 2–4 hours for peak crunch.
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.
