Cocoa roll with sweet cheese
The filling of this delicious dessert is essential for achieving a creamy texture and a refined taste. In a large bowl, fresh cheese is combined with a beaten egg, salt, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, and sour cream. These ingredients are mixed using a mixer until a homogeneous and smooth composition is obtained. Finally, raisins that have been soaked in rum for 20-30 minutes are added. This step adds a splash of flavor and a sweet-sour taste that will enrich the filling.
For the base, egg whites are separated from the yolks. The egg whites are beaten with a pinch of salt until they become firm and shiny. Meanwhile, the yolks are mixed with sugar until it is no longer visible and the composition turns a light yellow, slightly creamy. The flour mixed with cocoa is carefully added, ensuring everything is well incorporated. This combination will give the base a rich chocolate flavor.
After the egg whites are whipped, they are incorporated into the yolk mixture using a spatula or whisk, with gentle up-and-down movements to maintain the aeration of the dough. A baking tray measuring 22x27 cm is lined with parchment paper and the cheese filling is poured in an even layer. Over this, the cocoa dough is added, spread evenly, ensuring it completely covers the cheese.
The tray is placed in a preheated oven at a moderate temperature, where it will bake for about 20-25 minutes, until the base becomes firm and slightly elastic to the touch. Once the baking time has expired, the dessert is carefully turned out onto a clean kitchen towel. The parchment paper is removed and it is tightly rolled up to achieve a nice roll shape. The dessert is left to cool completely, after which it is dusted with powdered sugar for an attractive appearance. It is cut with a sharp knife and served with pleasure, being perfect for any special occasion or simply to bring a touch of joy to ordinary days. This dessert will surely become a favorite in any household!
