Get ready to fall in love with Coconut Rolls. These sweet coconut-flavored rolls are amazingly delicious. It was love at first bite!
We recently went on a trip to the southern Caribbean to the island of Curacao. It was heavenly. We had quite a number of adventures there including snorkeling to a sunken tugboat and riding an ostrich, but those are stories for another time. One of my favorite things about the island was the food. Every night I felt like I was touring a version of Top Chef Caribbean.
I love sampling local eats when I travel. We poked our heads in every bakery we came across. They all smelled like coconut. Almost every bread we sampled had some sort of coconut element to it. My favorite pastry was a coconut sweet roll. It really was love at first bite and I knew I’d be replicating the recipe at home to share with all of you.
I have two variations on this bread. A plain roll that is delightful on its own and a variation with a sugary coconut filling, kind of like a cinnamon roll, except without the cinnamon. You can easily make your batch half and half and decide which one you like best. Both are absolutely wonderful.

Hi from Australia, Rachel, and thank you for your great recipes.
Instead of cutting the rolled-out dough into 12 strips and rolling each one up, I rolled the whole rectangle up, starting from a short side, then cut the resultant log into 12 scrolls. Works fine.
I can eat coconut anything all day!! This is totally my kinda comfort food, YUM!
