Ingredients
- 1 package crescent roll dough
- 2 cups pineapple tidbits drained
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes divided
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 to 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir together the pineapple, brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1/4 cup coconut flakes.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. Spoon a small amount of the pineapple mixture on the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.
- Roll the dough over the filling and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the top of each roll with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- While the rolls are cooling, place the remaining 1/4 cup of coconut in a small skillet. Cook over low heat for a few minutes, stirring often, until the coconut is golden brown. Immediately remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of milk, and the coconut extract to make the glaze. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
- Drizzle the glaze on the top of each crescent roll, then sprinkle with the toasted coconut.
Notes
- Make sure your pineapple tidbits are thoroughly drained. Extra moisture can make your rolls soggy.
- You don't have to toast the coconut, but toasting adds a nutty depth that raw coconut can't match. If you do, keep a close eye on the skillet—coconut can go from pale to golden brown fast.
- Don't overfill your crescent rolls. A small spoonful is just right.
- For the glaze, start with the smaller amount of milk and add more as needed. You want it thick enough to cling to the rolls but thin enough to drizzle.
