Proof the yeast by adding a little sugar to warm water and letting it sit for about 10 minutes.

Combine melted butter, coconut milk, and coconut cream in a bowl.

Add the proofed yeast to the wet ingredients and mix well.

Combine the wet mixture with the flour and mix until a super soft dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 2 to 3 minutes, using coconut oil on your hands to prevent stickiness.

Cover the dough and let it rise for about 1 to 2 hours until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough to release air and pinch off small pieces to form into balls.

Shape the dough pieces into buns, either as dinner rolls or twisted like cinnamon rolls.

Cover the shaped buns and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Prepare the glaze by mixing coconut cream, coconut milk, and sweetened condensed milk, adjusting sweetness to preference.

Coat the risen buns generously with the glaze.

Bake in a 350° oven for about 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.

Glaze the buns again after baking and serve with extra sauce for dipping.
