Sweet Lychee Dinner Rolls - The Kreative Life

Have you ever heard of a lychee? Well, I haven’t until recently. I’ve heard about lychee martinis and desserts, so I went online to see exactly what a lychee is. At first glance it looks like a little red prickly strawberry that I wouldn’t even think about eating.

Do you see what I mean? I found out it’s what’s on the inside that everybody is raving about. It resembles a peeled grape, the smell is so fragrant, and it is one of the tastiest fruit I’ve ever had.

I bought a can from the store (I bet they taste way better fresh) and tried for weeks to get my husband to taste them with me. Once he saw the picture on the can he was instantly turned off. I finally decided to open the can and have him taste it, without telling him what it was. He liked it!

I wanted to make something entirely different than the lychee cocktails and desserts I’ve seen online, so I made dinner rolls with  lychee. He liked those too! Enjoy!

Ingredients

3 Cups All-Purpose Flour

½ Cup Cake Flour

¼ Cup Sugar

¼ Cup Butter, Softened

1 Teaspoon Salt

1 Package Fast-Acting Dry Yeast

¼ Cup Medium Lychee (Peeled, Pitted, Blended)

In a small microwaveable bowl, heat ¼ cup lychees, powdered sugar, and butter. Heat for 1 minute or until butter is completely melted. Stir mixture until sugar fully dissolves.

Preheat oven to  375°. Put a deep thumbprint into the center of each spiral roll. Using a teaspoon, pour lychee mixture into thumbprint indention.
