Ingredients
1 can (10 oz) Coconut Milk
3 Tbsp Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/2 c Sugar
1/2 Tbsp Corn Starch
1 package KING’S HAWAIIAN Original Hawaiian Sweet Dinner Rolls
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Separate dinner rolls and place evenly in a baking tray or skillet.
Step 2
In a pot, bring coconut milk, condensed milk, cornstarch, and sugar over to a boil then turn to low heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture thickens (about 5 minutes).
Step 3
Use a fork to poke holes in rolls (this will help the bread soak up the liquid mixture), then evenly pour coconut mixture over the rolls.
Step 4
Place tray in oven for 6-8 minutes until tops are a rich golden brown and enjoy!
CHEF’S NOTE: Top with raw turbinado sugar for a subtle crunch!
