These Boston Cream Pie Hawaiian rolls combine fluffy sweet rolls, a creamy vanilla custard filling, and rich chocolate ganache for a handheld twist on the classic dessert.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (12 rolls) Hawaiian Rolls
  • 2 cups Whole Milk
  • 4 large Egg Yolks
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • Powdered Sugar or Shredded Coconut (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: No need to preheat, but make room in your fridge to chill the custard.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, whisk milk, egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch over medium heat. Stir constantly until thick, then add vanilla and butter.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Transfer the custard to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface, and chill for 1 hour.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Cut slits in rolls and fill with chilled custard. Arrange on a tray.

  7. Serve and Enjoy: Chill 15 minutes or serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use full-fat milk for richer custard.
  • Make sure custard is cool before filling rolls.
  • Let ganache rest before stirring for best texture.
  • Use a piping bag for easy filling.
