Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 12 rolls
Necessary ingredients
For the dough:
- 500-600 g flour
- 200 g sugar
- 250 ml coconut milk (you can also use regular milk, but coconut milk gives it a unique flavor)
- 100 g butter (softened at room temperature)
- 1 vanilla essence
For the filling:
- 200 g chocolate (choose dark or milk chocolate based on your preference)
- 100 ml oil (the oil helps melt the chocolate and achieve a smoother texture)
For the syrup:
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 4 tablespoons coconut milk
- 1 vanilla essence
Preparation steps
1. Preparing the dough: If you are like me and not fond of manual kneading, use a dough mixer. Start by adding the flour, sugar, coconut milk, butter, and vanilla essence into the bowl. Let the machine knead well until you get an elastic dough. If you prefer the traditional method, place the flour in a large bowl, make a well in the center, and add the sugar, coconut milk, diced butter, and vanilla essence. Knead with your hands until you get a slightly sticky dough. Be careful not to add too much flour!
2. Dividing the dough: When the dough is ready, divide it into two equal parts. This will help you work with it more easily.
3. Rolling out the dough: Use a rolling pin to roll out the first piece of dough into a rectangular shape. Make sure it is not too thin; otherwise, the rolls will lack consistency.
4. Preparing the filling: In a small bowl, melt the chocolate together with the oil in a double boiler or microwave. If you choose the microwave option, be sure to check the chocolate frequently to prevent burning. Once melted, let it cool slightly.
5. Filling the rolls: Spread half of the chocolate on the first sheet of dough. Then, fold one end of the sheet towards the center and bring the other end over the first. This will form a sort of "honeycomb".
6. Cutting and twisting: Use a blunt knife to cut the dough into strips. Twist each piece and form rolls. Don’t worry if they don’t look perfect; their charm lies in their imperfection!
7. Preparing the syrup: In a small saucepan, mix the sugar, coconut milk, and vanilla essence. Place the mixture over low heat and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup becomes slightly viscous. Let it cool.
8. Baking the rolls: Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to a medium temperature. Drizzle the cooled sweet syrup over the rolls and bake for about 20 minutes. Be careful not to leave them too long, as they will harden.
9. Serving: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. You can sprinkle them with powdered sugar for a more appealing look or serve them alongside vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast.
Useful tips for a perfect result
- If you want the rolls to be even fluffier, you can add 1-2 grams of dry yeast to the dough mixture. You will achieve a more airy dough.
- Use quality chocolate, as this will make a difference in the final taste.
- If you want to experiment, you can add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for a more complex flavor.
Calories and nutritional benefits
Each roll has about 200 calories, but this may vary depending on the ingredients used. Chocolate rolls are a good source of energy and can improve your mood due to the cocoa content. Additionally, coconut milk adds healthy fats that help maintain healthy skin.
Frequently asked questions
1. Can I replace coconut milk with another type of milk? Yes, you can use regular milk, but the taste will be different.

3. What other fillings can I use? You can experiment with nuts, dried fruits, or cream cheese for a less sweet option.
