These are wonderful, sweet, fluffy dinner rolls with a mild, sweet coconut sauce that slightly puddles underneath them when served. A nice change from plain, old dinner rolls. I like to serve them with baked ham topped with pineapple. The sweet/salty combination is incredible! I serve these in place of dinner rolls, not a dessert. I found this recipe a few years back on a bag of frozen dinner rolls. My husband's favorite!

Ingredients For creamy sweet coconut rolls (quick & delicious!)

  • 18 frozen yeast dinner rolls
  • 14 oz. can coconut cream or coconut milk (coconut cream preferred, if you can find it.)
  • 1/2 cup sugar

How To Make creamy sweet coconut rolls (quick & delicious!)

  • 1
    Place frozen rolls in 3 rows of 6 in a sprayed 9x13 baking dish. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and let thaw and rise until double in size.
  • 2
    Combine coconut cream and sugar and mix well.
  • 3
    Remove wrap from risen rolls and pour coconut cream mixture over the rolls coating each roll completely as you pour so they will have a consistent color as they bake.
  • 4
    Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes until golden. My oven cooks hot, so your time may be less. Cover with foil if browning too quickly. Let cool a bit before serving. Coconut cream mixture will thicken as the rolls cool. Serve warm, not hot, on a small salad plate. Place roll on plate, then spoon sauce over the top, so that it puddles a little on the plate. These are served as an alternative to a dinner roll, not a dessert. Refrigerate any leftovers overnight and they are just as good the next day. Just heat in the micro. They stay nice and fluffy on top and yummy on the bottom.
