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 holiday season.
The PANDORO ROLLS with Sicilian CASSATA are those clever treats you prepare in 10 minutes, without baking, and that disappear even faster. They are delightful single-portion sweets, soft and creamy, perfect for recycling pandoro but also for serving 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 really reminds you of the Sicilian cassata, so you already know the ‘wow’ effect is guaranteed.
To prepare them, you just need to spread the pandoro, spread a sweet and velvety cream over it, and roll everything up: it’s that simple! And while preparing them, you can add variations to always get different treats. For example, you can increase the chocolate chips, or replace the candied fruits with candied orange or pistachio crumbs. This way, you will always have new and personalized rolls.
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 enough to become compact. A time-saving recipe, ideal for those who want something special without spending hours in the kitchen.

Smart tips for perfect rolls
Press the pandoro well with the rolling pin: this way the roll won’t open.

For a more Christmasy 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.

Absolutely yes: just use lactose-free ricotta and dairy-free chocolate chips.
