I am a carb-connoisseur.
Carbs and I have a love-hate relationship. I love to love on them, but I always down one too many carbs in a single sitting. I love any kind of carb… simple or complex- it doesn’t matter to me!
One of my favorite ways to enjoy carbs comes in the form of a roll. When rolls are at the dinner table, sometimes I accidentally fill myself up on them before I even get a chance to try the main course. It is a true problem I have.
This recipe comes from GroupRecipes and is so easy, so delicious, so gooey-good… you will literally smile with every bite. When served warm, they literally melt in your mouth. The sauce thickens up as it cools. They are sweet rolls, and could almost be served as a breakfast item. I’d eat them for breakfast, anyway :)

I’m literally drooling. Look at these rolls! Seriously gorgeous. As a carbaholic to another, I could load up on these dangerously fast before you could even say “main course” haha.
Coconut rolls are a fave at my house! This looks pretty much like how we make them too:) Yum.
I am not familiar with coconut cream… can you please tell me more? Thank you!
I agree, i have never heard of cream of coconut before either…
but this is what google told me
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconut_cream
Coconut cream is very similar to coconut milk but contains less water. The difference is mainly consistency. It has a thicker, more paste-like consistency, while coconut milk is generally a liquid. Coconut cream is used as an ingredient in cooking, having a mild non-sweet taste.
Coconut milk is also a main ingredient of coconut cream.
Coconut cream can be made by simmering 1 part shredded coconut with one part water or milk until frothy,[1] then straining the mixture through a cheesecloth, squeezing out as much liquid as possible; this is coconut milk. The coconut milk is refrigerated and allowed to set. Coconut cream is the thick non-liquid part that separates and rises to the top of the coconut milk.
I do a recipe sort of like this with white dinner rolls but I poke holes in them and fill them with jelly and coat them with cinn-sugar and bake for jelly rolls. I love that you simply added coconut and sugar. I bet these are PERFECT!
Nikki,

I’ve never heard of doing anything like that! Sounds really good!
Hey, I’m right there with you when it comes to loving the carbs!! I would never survive a low-carb diet….I’d go nuts before I lost any weight at all.
I’ve never heard of Cream of Coconut. Where would I find it in the grocery store? Near something like sweetened condensed milk? Or by the Cream of ____ soups?
I made these this past weekend and my husband and kids LOVED them!!! So easy and sooooo good!!!!
I just made these, my husband called them “ridiculously good!” So true! Thank you!
You are very clever, I will try this in Shanghai, made me smile..very quick, and sure to rise ha ha.
Can I buy canned coconut cream anywhere. I looked at my local Wal Mart. Any other places that might have it? I don’t want to make it!
