Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • ½ cup softened butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–4 tablespoons coconut cream

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 packet of instant yeast, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  2. In a saucepan, warm 1 cup of milk and ¼ cup of unsalted butter over low heat until the butter melts. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. Once cooled, add 2 large eggs and 1 cup of coconut cream to the milk mixture. Whisk together until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  5. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it's smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  7. In a medium bowl, mix together ½ cup of softened butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, and ½ cup of shredded coconut until you have a smooth paste.
  8. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
  9. Spread the coconut filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  10. Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
  11. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish, leaving some space between them to rise.
  12. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  13. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  14. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until they are golden brown.
  15. While they bake, prepare the coconut glaze by whisking together 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2-4 tablespoons of coconut cream until smooth.
  16. Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and let it soak in.

Nutrition

Keywords: For the best texture, make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. Don't rush the rising time! The longer the dough has to rise, the fluffier your rolls will be. Feel free to add nuts or dried fruit to the filling for extra flavor and texture.
