Ingredients

For the sponge:
- 6 fresh eggs
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 6 tablespoons of flour
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Food coloring (in rainbow colors)

For the cheese filling:
- 150 g fresh cottage cheese
- 100 ml whipped cream
- 70 ml egg liqueur
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 50 g white chocolate
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preparing the Sponge:
- Start by carefully separating the eggs. Place the egg whites in a large bowl and the yolks in another bowl.
- Using a mixer, beat the egg whites with lemon juice until you get a firm foam. It is essential to use eggs at room temperature for optimal results.
- In the bowl with the yolks, add the sugar and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture becomes creamy.
- Carefully pour the yolk mixture over the egg white foam. Use a spatula to combine the two mixtures, being careful not to lose the air in the egg whites.
- Sift the flour and gradually incorporate it, mixing on low speed until everything is well combined.

2. Adding Colors:
- Divide the mixture into 6 equal parts. Each part will receive a different food coloring. You can use your favorite colors or those you have on hand.
- Place each colored mixture into a plastic bag (or disposable piping bags, if you have them). Cut a tip off each bag to create a small "nozzle".

3. Baking the Sponge:
- Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, line a large tray (40x30 cm) with baking paper.
- Using the bags with the mixture, fill the tray in layers, alternating colors. You can create interesting shapes with a fork by drawing lines or spirals.
- Bake the sponge for 7 minutes, but be careful: every oven is different, so watch the baking time closely! If the sponge gets too brown, the appearance will be affected.

4. Rolling the Sponge:
- When the sponge is ready, remove it from the oven and carefully roll it while it is still warm. This step is crucial for achieving a beautiful and even roll.
- Let the roll cool completely on a cooling rack.

5. Preparing the Filling:
- In a bowl, whip the cream until it starts to thicken. Then, add the fresh cheese, egg liqueur, honey, and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until you get a creamy mixture.
- Chop the white chocolate and add it to the cheese mixture, homogenizing everything.

6. Filling and Rolling:
- When the sponge has completely cooled, spread the cheese cream evenly over the entire surface.
- Carefully roll the sponge back, forming a tight roll. Cover the roll with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours to set.

Serving

After the cooling time has passed, remove the roll from the refrigerator and slice it. You can serve it alongside a fresh fruit sauce or vanilla ice cream for a perfect culinary experience.

Practical Tips

- Ingredients: Use fresh eggs to achieve a firmer foam. Also, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing.
