Found a recipe for Pani Popo (Samoan Coconut Rolls).  Sister Welker's Week 60 post talks about her having these and how much she loves Samoan food.  Enjoy!

Pani Popo (Samoan Coconut Rolls)

Total Time

Pani Popo is a Samoan sweet roll baked in a delicious coconut sauce. One of my favorite Pacific-Island dishes from my bakery days in Hawaii.

Ingredients (with Amazon Links)

• 12-20 frozen dinner rolls depending on size (see note above for homemade rolls)
• 1 10 oz. can coconut milk
• 1 c. sugar

Instructions

1. Coat a 9x13 glass baking dish with cooking spray and arrange rolls evenly to thaw (if doing homemade rolls, roll dough into golf-ball size balls and arrange the same way).
2. Cover with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray (to keep dough from sticking to the plastic wrap).
3. Allow to rise until doubled in size.
4. Pre-heat oven to 350-degrees.
5. In a bowl, combine coconut milk and sugar and whisk until sugar is dissolved.
6. Pour about 2/3 of the coconut mixture over the rolls and bake for 20-30 minutes (or according to package/dough recipe instructions) or until golden brown and dough is baked through.
7. Remove from oven and pour remaining coconut mixture evenly over the top of the rolls.
8. The rolls should be sticky and gooey on the bottom (read notes above). Can be served upside down or right-side up.
