    Reasons to 💖 this recipe

    1. It is such a simple recipe that even kids can make them.
    2. You can prepare it ahead of time.
    3. Fail-proof and a crowd pleaser sweet finger food.
    4. You can easily modify it as per the requirement.
    5. It is a no-bake, no-cook recipe that takes a few minutes to prepare.
    6. You won’t be guilty about having more rounds of these low-calorie rolls.

    Ingredients

    You need the following list of ingredients to make coconut-filled cream rolls:

    • Bread: A plain white regular sandwich is good enough for these sweet coconut rolls.
    • Thickened cream/Heavy cream: Thickened cream having 35% fat is used in this recipe. In Australia, we know heavy cream as thickened cream.
    • Food colour: I use red food colour. You can use any colour as per your liking. The purpose is for an appealing appearance.
    • Coconut: Desiccated coconut unsweetened is the best.
    • Milk: It provides moisture to the bread. It helps in easily rolling the slices and sticking the coconut meat.
    • Cardamom powder- For flavour. Optional.
    • Sugar: Powdered sugar goes well with this recipe.

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Don't have cardamom powder?
     No worries! Grind 2-3 cardamoms in a mortar pestle to a fine/coarse powder to make your instant cardamom powder at home. Easy! Right??

    Preparation

    1. Combine milk and cardamom powder in a small bowl. Cardamom gives a nice flavour to these rolls. Add any flavour to your choice. Add sugar if you want sweet on the higher side. I have added no sugar here.
    2. Trim off the bread corners. Flatten each bread slice using a rolling pin. Be gentle on pressure; otherwise, the bread will tear apart while rolling.
    3. Fill a plate with desiccated coconut to coat the rolls.
    4. Whip thick cream and powdered sugar together using a whisker. When peaks start appearing, add food colour to it and whisk until you get stiff peaks. Set it aside.

    For more clarity on whipping cream, check this post on the blog about how to whip cream using a whisk?

    Filling of cream in rolls

    Soak the bread slice (both sides) in cardamom-flavoured milk using a silicone brush. (image below)

    Substitutions

    • Use gluten-free and vegan bread instead of white bread for these options.
    • Replace thickened cream with lactose-free and dairy-free options like coconut cream, and soy cream.
    • You can replace cardamom powder with cardamom, but powder gives more flavour to the dish.
    • Substitute the pink colour with any colour of your choice.

    Variations

    • Try flavours like vanilla, strawberry, raspberry, and orange. Add them while whipping the cream.
    • Give another twist to these rolls by adding a dash of your favourite jam while filling them with cream. (check the coconut sweet rolls video)
    • You can also include finely chopped nuts in the rolls.

    Storage

    Store them in the fridge. These stay good for 2 days.

    Troubleshoots

    Why is thickened cream not whipped?

    The first thing to make a perfect whipped cream is to chill everything. Keeping the temperature low helps incorporate air into the cream for a longer time, resulting in stabilized foam. So, not maintaining a cold temperature is the foremost reason for cream not getting whipped.
    If you are whipping cream by hand, I strongly recommend chilling your bowl, whisker and cream before you plan to make whipped cream by hand. Place your bowl and whisk for at least 20-30 minutes in the freezer BEFORE using them to give them enough time to chill. Also, do not forget to use chilled cream, not frozen.

    Why my cream rolls are too dry to enjoy?

    There are several reasons for dry cream rolls but are not limited to:
    The bread is not soft and fresh.
    The quantity of milk used is insufficient to dampen the bread. So, use enough milk to moisten the slices on both sides.
    You fill a scant amount of cream in the slices.
    The cream is spread unevenly.

    Why coconut meat is not sticking to the rolls?

    If coconut meat is not sticking to the rolls, gently dampen the rolls with milk using a brush. Now, again, roll them in desiccated coconut to coat. It happens when rolls get dried and lack moisture to hold the coating. So moisturizing them with milk will resolve the issue.

    Can I replace desiccated coconut with fresh?

    No, you can not use fresh coconut if a desiccated one is unavailable. As fresh coconut contains lots of moisture, it can ruin the preparation. Instead, you can use shredded coconut, coconut flakes, and dried coconut.

    Tips

    1. Use plain bread if you want to add flavour to these rolls.
    2. Always use chilled cream, a chilled whisk and a bowl to whip the cream.
    3. Trim the corners of bread slices to get smooth and neat cream rolls.
    4. Moisten the bread slices on both sides.
    5. Avoid over-dampening the bread slices to prevent sogginess. 
    6. Don’t overspread cream on the slices, as it will leak out when you roll them.
    7. Wipe out any cream coming out of the rolls.
    8. If coconut flakes are not sticking to these rolls, dampen them slightly with milk and roll them again in coconut flakes to coat.
    9. Make bread crumbs on the bread’s outer edges by just drying them out in the sun for 2-3 days.
