Indulge in the delicate, sweet comfort of these custard cream-filled rose rolls.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 ml (2 cups) milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 g (1/2 cup) sugar
  • 30 g (3 1/2 tbsp) cornstarch
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the Custard: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and salt until smooth. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the custard thickens. Once it reaches a creamy consistency, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out your dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into even strips or squares.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Place a spoonful of the cooled custard mixture in the center of each piece of dough. Roll up the dough to encase the custard, creating a rose shape. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish.
  4. Bake the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with extra custard for an added touch of sweetness.

Notes

  • If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought dough, though making the dough from scratch gives the rolls a more authentic texture and flavor.
  • For a more intense vanilla flavor, feel free to increase the amount of vanilla extract slightly.
  • These rolls are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days.
  • You can also freeze the rolls after baking and reheat them in the oven when needed for a quick treat.
