I had these on my first trip to Hawaii when I was 15. I didn't know what it was called but it would haunt me for the next 20 years. I scoured Hawaii dessert books and websites. Then a couple of years, it occured to me that that it might be Polynesian or Samoan. I whooped with joy when I finally found out what it was called (gotta love Google). It's really delicious, rich and luscious without being cloying and heavy. Do make these rolls and the sauce. It really is all about that delicious coconut sauce.
