Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 can Crushed Pineapple (well-drained)
- 1/2 cup Sweetened Shredded Coconut (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Orange Zest
- 1/4 cup Butter (room temperature)
Dough
- 1 package Pillsbury Cinnabon Refrigerated Orange Rolls
Glaze
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/4 cup Pineapple Juice
- 1 tablespoon Additional Orange Zest
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Filling: In a bowl, combine the room temperature butter, well-drained crushed pineapple, sugar, and optional shredded coconut. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Spread Filling on Dough: Unroll the Pillsbury Cinnabon Orange Rolls dough on a clean surface and evenly spread the pineapple butter mixture over the dough, leaving approximately one inch around the edges uncovered.
- Form Rolls: Starting at one end, carefully roll the dough into a log. Using a buttered knife, slice the log along the perforations to create individual rolls.
- Arrange on Pan: Place the sliced rolls on the prepared sheet pan, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 9 to 13 minutes or until they turn golden brown and puffed up.
- Cool: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on the pan for about 15 minutes before adding the glaze.
- Prepare Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and additional orange zest until smooth and well combined.
- Glaze Rolls: Drizzle the prepared glaze over the cooled rolls generously, allowing the citrus flavors to enhance the sweetness.
Notes
- Make sure the crushed pineapple is well-drained to prevent soggy rolls.
- If you prefer a less sweet option, reduce the amount of powdered sugar in the glaze.
- Shredded coconut is optional but adds a nice tropical texture and flavor.
- Use a buttered knife to ensure clean cuts and to prevent sticking.
- Letting the rolls cool before glazing helps the glaze set nicely without melting off.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for 4 days.
