Necessary ingredients
For the base (basic recipe):
- 4 large eggs
- 100 g sugar
- 100 g flour
- 30 g cocoa powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the filling:
- 2 bars of Primola milk chocolate (approximately 200 g)
- 1 box of Philadelphia cream cheese (approximately 200 g)
- 3-4 tablespoons sweet milk
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
For decoration:
- White chocolate and dark chocolate (for drizzling)
Step by step in preparing the milk chocolate roll
1. Preparing the roll base:
- Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. Prepare a baking tray (approximately 30x40 cm) by lining it with parchment paper.
- Beat the eggs with the sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color.
- Add the vanilla extract, mixing gently.
- In another bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, mixing with a spatula to avoid losing air.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tray and level it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the base is firm to the touch.
2. Cooling the base:
- Once the base is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, invert it onto a tray dusted with powdered sugar, remove the parchment paper, and let it cool completely.
3. Preparing the filling:
- In a small saucepan, melt the milk chocolate together with the sweet milk, stirring constantly to obtain a smooth mixture. Let it cool slightly.
- In a bowl, beat the Philadelphia cream cheese with the powdered sugar until creamy. Gradually add the melted chocolate, mixing well to combine all the ingredients.
4. Filling the roll:
- Spread the chocolate filling over the cooled base, distributing it evenly. Carefully roll the base from one edge to the other, forming a roll. Make sure to roll it tightly, but not too tight, to avoid breaking.
5. Decorating the roll:
- Melt a little white and dark chocolate and use a piping bag to decorate the roll. You can create beautiful patterns to give it an elegant touch.
6. Final cooling and serving:
- Let the roll cool in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will help the filling set and make slicing easier.
Serving suggestions
The milk chocolate roll is delicious served plain, but you can accompany it with vanilla ice cream or a berry sauce for a pleasant contrast. A cup of coffee or flavored tea will perfectly complement this dessert.
Variations and tips
- Cappuccino chocolate variant: You can replace the milk chocolate with cappuccino-flavored chocolate for a more intense taste.
- Alternative fillings: Be creative and use fruit jams, nut cream, or any other favorite filling. The roll is versatile and easily adapts to your tastes.
- Tips for a perfect base: Make sure not to open the oven during baking to prevent the base from sinking. Also, a pinch of salt in the mixture will enhance the flavors.
