Ingredients
 

For the Custard

For the Chocolate Glaze

Directions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, salt, and cornstarch. Whisk in heavy whipping cream, milk, and egg yolks. Heat over medium heat until the mixture gets thick like pudding, about 5 minutes. The cream will cling to the back of the spoon.
  • Remove from the heat and pour through a fine mesh strainer to remove any lumps then add in butter, one tablespoon at a time. Stir until the butter is melted and the cream is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Place a piece of plastic wrap on top of the cream so that it doesn't form a crust, then refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight.
  • When ready to fill the rolls, spoon the cream into a large piping bag that has been fitted with a long, thin piping tip.
  • Use the large end of a piping tip to cut a hole in one side of each roll, making sure not to pierce any of the other sides. Use a finger or the back of a small spoon to press down the insides of the roll to allow more room for the filling.
  • Insert the piping tip into the hole in the roll and squeeze in as much cream filling as you can fit.
  • Make the chocolate glaze: Place chocolate chips and heavy cream in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave on HIGH power in 20-second increments, stirring frequently, until the chocolate glaze is melted and smooth.
  • Dip the tops of each filled Hawaiian roll into the chocolate glaze. Allow the glaze to set at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Refrigerate leftover rolls in a single layer in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
