Ingredients
For the sponge:
- 3 fresh eggs
- 60 g granulated sugar
- 70 g flour
- 1 vanilla essence
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
For the cream:
- 200 ml milk
- 50 g powdered sugar
- 20 g flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 250 ml whipped cream
- 2-3 pieces of chocolate (optional)
For decoration:
- Extra whipped cream
- Coconut (or other preferred ingredients such as grated chocolate or fruits)
Preparing the milk cream
1. Boiling the milk: Start by boiling the milk in a medium saucepan. Make sure to use a non-stick pan to avoid burning the milk.
2. Adding flavors: When the milk starts to boil, remove it from the heat and add the sugar, vanilla essence, and sifted flour. Sifting the flour is essential to avoid lumps.
3. Thickening the cream: Place the saucepan back on low heat and stir constantly until the cream thickens. It is important to stir continuously to achieve a smooth and homogeneous texture.
4. Cooling the cream: Once the cream has thickened, let it cool completely. After it has cooled, fold in the whipped cream (make sure the cream is cold) and melted chocolate. Place the cream in the refrigerator to firm up a bit before using.
Preparing the sponge
1. Beating the eggs: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the pinch of salt and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until they become a fluffy and light-colored foam.
2. Incorporating dry ingredients: Add the vanilla essence and the flour mixed with baking powder. Gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
3. Baking the sponge: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Pour the mixture into a baking tray lined with parchment paper and spread it evenly. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the sponge is golden and elastic.
4. Rolling the sponge: After removing it from the oven, place the hot sponge on a clean, rollable towel to form a roll. Let it cool completely in this shape to maintain its contour.
Assembling the roll
1. Unrolling the sponge: Once the sponge has completely cooled, carefully unroll it and spread the milk cream evenly over the entire surface.
2. Rolling: Roll the sponge with the help of the towel, forming a tight roll. Ensure that the cream does not ooze out at the ends.
3. Final cooling: Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to firm up and retain its shape.
Serving
When you are ready to serve, take the roll out of the refrigerator and cut slices with a sharp knife. You can decorate with whipped cream and coconut or grated chocolate. This milk cream roll is delicious alongside a cup of tea or coffee, bringing a touch of elegance and comfort to any moment of the day.
Useful tips
- Choosing ingredients: Use fresh eggs, as they provide a better foam. The cream should be very cold to whip effectively.
- Gluten-free option: You can replace the flour with a gluten-free variant, such as almond flour or rice flour.
- Creative additions: Experiment with different flavors in the cream, such as orange or almond essence. You can also add berries for a fresh touch.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I use another type of milk? Yes, you can use almond milk or coconut milk for a vegan version of the cream.
- How long can the roll be kept? The roll keeps well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, but the taste is best in the first few days.
- Can I freeze the roll? It is recommended not to freeze the filled roll, but you can freeze the plain sponge and fill it with cream before serving.
