So, for me, this the type of breakfast you want to make when you want to impress someone for breakfast. You use prepared pizza dough, cream cheese, pineapple, coconut, almonds and run extract to duplicate the flavor of this refreshing fruity drink. I love to serve these with some hot tea.

1 can prepared pizza dough
8 oz. cream cheese
1 C. pineapple preserves
3/4 C. flaked coconut
1/4 C. chopped almonds
1/2 tsp. rum extract

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare filling combining 4 oz. of cream cheese, 1/2 cup pineapple preserves, 3/4 cup flaked coconut, and 1/4 almonds. Roll out the prepared pizza dough into a rectangle. You may want to flour the surface where you are going to roll this out. Once the dough is rolled out place the filling mix on the top of this. Roll up, and slice into 12 rolls. Place sliced rolls into a greased 12 by 9 inch pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for about 20 minutes. Remove plastic wrap and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until done. Prepare glaze by mixing together the remaining 4 oz. cream cheese, pineapple preserves, and rum extract. Drizzle glaze onto rolls when they have almost cooled completely
