Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (12 ounce) package frozen dinner rolls dough, thawed
15 ounces water, divided
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Arrange rolls in a 9x13-inch baking dish, cover the dish with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  • Combine 14 ounces water, coconut milk, and sugar in a saucepan. Whisk remaining water and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Bring coconut milk mixture to a boil, whisk in cornstarch mixture, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from rolls.
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Pour coconut sauce over rolls until at least half of each roll is covered in sauce. Return rolls to oven; continue baking until rolls are golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Cool in the baking dish, 3 to 5 minutes, before serving warm.

TONGAN COCONUT ROLLS



Tongan Coconut Rolls image

Our old neighbor was from Tonga and his wife made these rolls and would share with us because my husband lived in Hawaii for a couple of years and grew to love the food there. I sometimes make my own homemade rolls recipe #103547 or the frozen Rhodes rolls. If you use the frozen dough, let them rise completely and then pour the sauce over the top and bake according to the directions. Same with homemade rolls. Rise completely and then pour sauce on and bake as directed. These rolls are sweet. Prep time listed is only for combining the ingredients for coconut sauce.

TONGAN PIE (JELLY ROLL)



Tongan Pie (Jelly Roll) image

This is a recipe that is infamous among Tongans. We call it Tongan Pie but it is more like a jelly roll. Use your favorite jelly or jam, peach/pineapple and grape are popular favorites. Also can roll out the dough & use biscuit cutter to make tarts instead. I'm submitting here so I won't lose the recipe again!

Time 55m

Yield 3 pies/jelly rolls

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 cups flour
1 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 cups margarine (cold)
3 eggs
1/2-3/4 cup milk (cold)

Steps:

  • Mix flour, sugar & powder well.
  • Cut margarine in small cubes (cut long ways then short ways for tiny cubes).
  • Throw margarine cubes into flour, then work it into flour until evenly broken up--much like making a pie crust.
  • Add eggs (mix first in separate bowl) and rub together until even.
  • Add milk & mix until not sticky but balls up.
  • Roll out on floured surface about 1/4-1/3" thick.
  • Spread with jam or jelly on entire surface leaving 1/2 " space along edges.
  • Roll dough into one large log & fold ends under to keep jelly from oozing out.
  • Transfer to foil lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 275 degrees for 45 minutes.
