Kalamai (dessert) Kalamai (dessert) Kalamai is a traditional Chamorro corn / coconut pudding, sometimes referred to as coconut gelatin (though no gelatin is actually used). Original versions of kalamai called for masa harina, coconut milk, sugar, and water. Subsequently, cornstarch was used to thicken the dessert. Red or green food coloring may be used to color the kalamai, followed by a sprinkling of cinnamon on the surface. A few recipes have added vanilla for additional flavoring. The kalamai mixture, once thickened, is traditionally poured into a low rimmed tray to a half inch thickness. This dessert is cooled, then sliced into squares.
