Ever Heard of Pina Colada Rolls??

I have a hostess who wants me to make them...but I've never heard of them? Anyone have the recipe??

Here is a recipe that comes from a site my recruiter told me about (http://www.joycesfinecooking.com/pamperedchefs.htm):

Pina Colada Rolls
Submitted by Rini


Rolls
1 pouch (16 ounces) Pizza Crust & Roll Mix
(including yeast packet)
1 cup very warm water (120º-130ºF)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1 egg

Filling
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup pineapple preserves
3/4 cup flaked coconut
1/4 cup almonds, chopped

Glaze
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup pineapple preserves
1/2 teaspoon rum extract


1. In a bowl, prepare dough according to package directions for dinner rolls; knead 5 minutes and let rest an additional 5 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare filling.

2. For filling, in a small bowl, combine cream cheese, preserves, coconut and almonds chopped; mix well. Set aside.

3. Lightly flour flat side of cutting board. Using lightly floured pizza roller, roll dough to edges of cutting board. Spread filling over dough to within 1/2 inch of edges. Starting at longest edge, roll up tightly; press edge to seal.

4. Using a knife, slice roll into 1 1/2-inch slices to make 12 rolls and place in lightly greased rectangular baker. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 375ºF.

5. Remove plastic wrap; bake on middle rack of oven 30-35 minutes or until deep golden brown. Remove to cooling rack; let cool 5 minutes.

6. For glaze, combine cream cheese, preserves and rum extract; mix well. Spread over warm rolls.

Hope this helps, let us know how it turns out!! The above site has all the tried and true PC recipes, even the old classics.

Anyone know if there is a substitute for the PC Dough...would any pizza dough work?

I would think that any pizza crust mix that equalled 16 ounces would work. Maybe you could try the refridgerated pizza dough? I would probably use 2 though

Did you end up making these? Were they good?

I am making them tonight!! I'll let you know!

Thanks! Can't wait to hear how they come out!

How are they??? I love coconut :love:
