    Samoan coconut rolls called pani popo are simply to die for.  The roll is hot and soft and the sweetness from the coconut milk and sugar simply takes these babies to a heavenly place.  You are more than welcome to make the rolls from scratch but honestly you can just pick up some frozen rolls from  the freezer section of your grocery store and save yourself lots of time, which is how I made these.

    Honestly I could have eaten the entire pan of these delicious Samoan coconut rolls.  The bottom line is you won't be able to just eat one so be sure to plan accordingly.  Samoans are known to use a ton of coconut in just about all of their dishes which I absolutely love.

    According to the CIA's world Factbook, over half the Samoan population is obese.  This is not solely caused by some genetic disposition, but a historical belief that obesity is a symbol of health, wealth and happiness.  Historically the village chiefs or (matai) were fed the most and thus obesity became a status symbol.  Let's just say it wouldn't take long eating these Pani Popo's or Samoan coconut rolls.
