Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with melted butter.
Tear the Hawaiian sweet rolls into bite-sized pieces and evenly distribute them in the prepared baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
Fold in the crushed pineapple and shredded coconut into the mixture.
Slowly pour the liquid mixture over the bread pieces in the baking dish, ensuring all the bread is well-soaked. Press down gently with a spatula to help the bread absorb the custard.
Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes to ensure the bread has fully absorbed the custard.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as is or with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
