PANDORO ROLLS with Sicilian CASSATA, easy and quick treats with ricotta, candied fruits, and chocolate chips, ready in 10 minutes, a delicious dessert for the Christmas holidays.
The PANDORO ROLLS with Sicilian CASSATA are those clever treats you prepare in 10 minutes, no baking required, and they disappear even faster. They are delightful, single-serving treats, soft and creamy, perfect for using up pandoro but also to present an elegant and super delicious Christmas dessert.
Since I love quick and no-bake desserts, these rolls have become my secret weapon when I have unexpected guests during the holidays. Moreover, the ricotta cream with candied fruits and chocolate chips is reminiscent of Sicilian cassata, so you already know the “wow” effect is guaranteed.
To make them, you just need to spread out the pandoro, spread a sweet and velvety cream on top, and roll it all up: it couldn’t be simpler! And as you prepare them, you can add variations to always get different sweets.
These pandoro rolls are perfect as a dessert after lunch or dinner, but also as Christmas buffet sweets. Since they are no-bake, you can prepare them at the last minute and let them rest in the fridge just long enough to become firm.

Smart tips for perfect rolls
Press the pandoro well with the rolling pin: this way the roll doesn’t open.
If you want a more stable cream, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar.
For a more Christmas-like taste, add orange zest or cinnamon.
For an even more delicious version, cover the roll with melted chocolate.
If you don’t like candied fruits, replace them with extra chocolate chips or pistachios.
