Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I like to start my rolls by gently slicing each Hawaiian roll in half, being careful not to cut all the way through so they remain connected at the back. This little detail keeps the filling nice and secure. Next, I grab my pastry cream and pipe a generous amount into each roll. You can use a piping bag or simply a resealable plastic bag with a snipped corner. I find that the cream is the star of the show, and I want to ensure each roll gets an ample filling!
