Soft Coconut Rolls with Creamy Custard Filling

In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together milk, sugar, and flour.

Continue stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard.

Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.

Let the custard cool completely before using.

Prepare the Rolls:

Roll out your dough into a rectangle.

Spread an even layer of cooled custard over the surface.

Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut it into even slices.

Bake the Rolls (If Using Yeast Dough):

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place rolls in a greased baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Let them cool slightly.

Coat in Coconut:

Once the rolls have cooled, brush them lightly with additional melted butter or a thin glaze.

Roll each roll in shredded coconut to coat the outside.

Serve & Enjoy:

These coconut custard rolls are best enjoyed fresh! Serve warm or at room temperature.
