I hope the school enjoys them. Perhaps you can make them in half the size rolls for the kids, stretch the recipe further too and they are quite filling.

Our school are making dishes from all over the world to celebrate the Olympic Games. We went to the Cook Islands for our honeymoon so I’m happy I can share a little of the Cook Islands with the kids in Australia.

When I find one that is moist, medium/light…dripping with warm coconut sauce (sweetened)…I prefer to add two vanilla ice cream scoop to it with the don’t disturb sign up!

Thanks for sharing ;-)

PS: Can be evolved into a perfect desert with touches of either fresh banana slices or few raspberry (balance taste of sweet/tangy approach)…and of course the famous white/brown chocolates & complimentary ice creams for Pure indulgence, followed by a satisfying fitness session much later… :-)

I would be interested to try that, I do love these rolls and always search them out when in Rarotonga

I’m going to try that next time. Let me know the results if you do tweak them.

The only thing I am thinking of tweaking, and please tell me if I am wrong, I may suggested using self raising flour or maybe adding some baking powder??, try to make them a little fluffier?
What are your thoughts on this???
I am making some in the morning for my mother in law for mothers day, I will post feed back on the baking powder.
Enjoy!
Happy Mothers day !

The ingredients are similar to these Korean coconut buns I once made, but your rolls are that times 10. Gorgeous, mouth watering photo too!
