Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 0 minutes (no-bake dessert)
Total time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 12
Ingredients:
For the dark cream:
- 10 tablespoons of sugar
- 500 ml water
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa
- 400 g biscuits (preferably cocoa-flavored)
For the white cream:
- 50 ml water
- 250 g margarine (or butter for a richer taste)
- 10 tablespoons of sugar
- 100 g coconut
- 300 g powdered milk
For assembly:
- 4 wafers
Optional:
- 100 g chocolate (for glazing the roll)
Preparation:
Step 1: Making the Dark Cream
Start by making the dark cream, which is the delicious base of the roll. In a pot, add the 10 tablespoons of sugar and let it caramelize slightly, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Once the sugar turns golden, add 500 ml of water, stirring well until the sugar completely dissolves.
After the mixture has boiled for a few minutes, add a tablespoon of cocoa and mix well until the cocoa is evenly incorporated. Remove the pot from heat and add the finely crushed biscuits. Stir everything until you obtain a smooth cream. It should be warm when you apply it to the wafers, so it spreads easily.
Step 2: Preparing the White Cream
Now, let's take care of the white cream. In another pot, combine 50 ml of water, 250 g of margarine (or butter), and the 10 tablespoons of sugar. Place the pot on the heat and let it boil for a minute. This step will allow the sugar to completely dissolve in the fat, creating a delicious base.
After a minute, remove the pot from heat and add 100 g of coconut and 300 g of powdered milk. Mix well until you obtain a fine and smooth cream.
Step 3: Assembling the Roll
On a flat surface, place the first wafer. Spread a consistent layer of dark cream with a spatula, ensuring you cover the entire surface evenly. Continue with the second wafer, applying the white cream on top. Repeat the process for the other two wafers, alternating between the two creams.
After you have finished applying all the layers, carefully roll the wafers, forming a tight roll. I recommend using plastic wrap to help maintain the shape of the roll.
Step 4: Finalizing and Serving
For an extra flavor boost, you can optionally melt the chocolate and pour it over the roll. This will not only add an elegant appearance but also a delicious taste. After decorating the roll, place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours to firm up and combine the flavors.
My tip: The dream roll is tastier when served cold, so don’t rush to cut it. Each slice will be an explosion of flavors that combines chocolate with the fresh taste of coconut.
Nutritional benefits:
This roll is not just a delight but also a source of energy due to the content of biscuits and coconut. Coconut provides fiber and healthy fats, while the biscuits add essential carbohydrates for daily energy.
