These Boston cream Hawaiian roll "donuts" are a surprisingly accurate shortcut version of vanilla cream-filled donuts with chocolate topping. You have to try them.

Ingredients

  • 112-count package hawaiian rolls, separated into 12 rolls
  • 4 tablespoonsbutter, melted
  • 1 packagevanilla instant pudding mix, such as jell-o
  • 1 ½ cupswhipped topping
  • 1 ¾ cupsmilk, divided
  • ½ teaspoonvanilla extract
  • salt
  • ¾ cupsemisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).  Brush rolls with melted butter on all sides and place on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and toasted, 5 to 7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Whisk pudding mix, 1 1/2 cups milk, vanilla, and salt together in a bowl until well combined and thickened. Fold in whipped topping. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set up; transfer filling to a piping bag or a plastic bag. Make a small cut in the corner if using a plastic bag.

  4. 4

    Use a paring knife to make a small cut into one side of each roll, creating an opening large enough to pipe filling into without going all the way through. Fill each hole with about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons filling.

  5. 5

    Heat remaining 1/4 cup milk until scalding in the microwave, 30 to 40 seconds. Place chocolate chips in a shallow bowl, and pour in hot milk. Let stand 10 seconds; stir until smooth. Heat in the microwave 15 seconds if necessary to finish melting the chocolate.

  6. 6

    Line a tray with parchment. Dip the top of each filled roll in chocolate; place on the tray to cool completely and for chocolate to harden slightly, about 20 minutes, or refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
