Cocoa Roll with Mascarpone and White Chocolate Cream

The cocoa roll with mascarpone and white chocolate cream is a soft dessert with a rich and tasty filling. I made a soft roll that I then filled with homemade white hazelnut cream (which you can make at home by clicking here) and a mascarpone and white chocolate cream. Finally, I garnished the roll with a few spoonfuls of white hazelnut cream and served the roll sliced. With this dessert, you’ll win over your guests!

Tools

Preparation

  • To make the cocoa roll, separate the yolks from the whites. In a bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff with 1.8 oz of sugar.

  • In another bowl, beat the yolks with 3.5 oz of sugar, water, and vanilla extract. Pour in the egg whites and fold them into the yolks using a spatula, moving from bottom to top.

  • Then incorporate the unsweetened cocoa, always moving from bottom to top. Finally, add the sifted flour with the baking powder. Mix the ingredients until you get a smooth and homogeneous mixture.

  • Pour the mixture into the tray (13.8×9.8 inches) lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 10-12 minutes.

  • Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool by inverting it onto another sheet of parchment paper.

  • In a bowl, cream the mascarpone with the sugar. Then incorporate the white chocolate melted in a bain-marie (cooled down).

  • Take the roll, using a brush, moisten the parchment paper with a little water, so as to detach it from the roll.

  • Straighten the outer edges of the roll with a sharp knife. Fill with a thin layer of white hazelnut cream (recipe to make it at home here).

  • Then fill with the mascarpone cream, leaving a couple of centimeters of space at the edge of one of the longer sides.

  • Roll it up from the longer side and close tightly with the parchment paper. Place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to set.

  • Then serve with a few spoonfuls of white hazelnut cream. Enjoy!
