Pani Popo Coconut Sweet Rolls
INGREDIENTS
Coconut Sauce
- 1 can coconut milk (13 oz), well shaken
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch
METHOD
- Prepare your favorite bread dough recipe or you can use frozen dough. You can also substitute for Kings Hawaiian Sweet rolls.
- If using homemade dough, divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll or shape into balls. Place dough or rolls into a greased pan spacing them evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for about 45-60 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees halfway through the rise.
- During the last 15 minutes of your dough rising, prepare the coconut sauce.
- In a small saucepan, combine all 3 ingredients. Cook over medium heat, using a whisk and stirring constantly for 6-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Pour half of the sauce over the rolls and bake for 22-24 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 190 degrees using an instant read thermometer.
- Remove rolls from oven and pour remaining sauce over the hot rolls. Serve immediately.
