A bit of history

Rolls have always been a beloved dessert, with deep roots in culinary tradition. Cooked in various shapes and with diverse fillings, they have won many hearts due to their appealing appearance and refined taste. This version with jam and pudding brings a touch of nostalgia, evoking childhood memories when desserts were made from simple yet flavorful ingredients.

Ingredients

- 7 medium eggs
- 10 tablespoons of sugar
- 10 tablespoons of flour
- 2 jars of jam (of your choice, preferably a jam with an intense flavor, like raspberry, apricot, or sour cherry)
- One vanilla or strawberry pudding (you can also use instant pudding for added speed)

Ingredient details

Eggs: Choose fresh eggs, as their quality directly affects the texture of the roll. The eggs will add volume and aeration to the mixture.

Sugar: Use granulated sugar, which dissolves quickly in the mixture. You can adjust the amount of sugar depending on how sweet the chosen jam is.

Flour: Opt for white flour type 000, which will give a slightly fluffy appearance to the roll.

Jam: This is the ingredient that gives personality to the dessert. Choose your favorite jam, but make sure it is of good quality, with a high fruit content, for an intense flavor.

Pudding: Vanilla pudding is classic, but the strawberry version adds a fruity and fresh note. You can experiment with other flavors, such as chocolate or caramel.

Step by step

1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). This step is essential for achieving a well-baked and fluffy roll.

2. Preparing the mixture: In a large bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites with a mixer until they become frothy. Gradually add 5 tablespoons of sugar and continue mixing until you achieve a firm foam that holds peaks.

3. The yolks: In another bowl, beat the remaining 2 yolks with the other 5 tablespoons of sugar until you get a creamy mixture of an intense yellow color. This step is important for achieving an airy texture.

4. Combining the ingredients: Gradually add the flour to the yolk mixture, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture, being careful to maintain the air in the foam. Mix gently with up-and-down movements.

5. Baking: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and add the mixture evenly, leveling it well. Bake for 15 minutes, until the roll becomes slightly golden and elastic to the touch.

6. Preparing the pudding: While the roll is baking, prepare the pudding according to the instructions on the package. Let it cool completely.

7. Assembling the roll: After the roll has cooled, turn it onto a clean tray, carefully removing the parchment paper. Spread a uniform layer of jam over the roll, then add the cooled pudding on top.

8. Rolling: Carefully roll the dessert starting from one end, ensuring the fillings remain inside. Wrap the roll in cling film and refrigerate for at least an hour to firm up.

9. Serving: After it has been in the fridge, cut the roll into slices and serve it with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot tea. It’s a perfect combination!

Practical tips

- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This helps achieve a better texture.
- If you want extra flavor, you can add a little vanilla or lemon essence to the yolk mixture.
- Experiment with different types of jams and puddings. For example, a combination of strawberry jam and vanilla pudding is particularly delicious.
- If the roll cracks during rolling, don’t worry! You can cover it with an extra layer of jam or pudding for a flawless appearance.
