Rolls are often associated with festive times and moments of celebration due to their elegant appearance and refined taste.

Ingredients

For the base:
- 5 large eggs
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 3 tablespoons of oil (preferably sunflower oil)
- 1 baking powder
- 1 vanilla essence
- 6-7 tablespoons of flour

For the cream:
- 150 g of whipping cream (ideal for whipping)
- 3 tablespoons of nut cream (or leftover nut filling)
- 200 g of Nutella

For the glaze:
- 50 g of white chocolate
- 50 g of dark chocolate

Step by step to achieve a perfect roll

1. Preparing the base:
- In a large bowl, crack the 5 eggs and add the sugar. Use a mixer to beat the eggs with the sugar until you get a light and homogeneous foam that will double in volume. This step is essential, as the egg foam will provide the base with that fluffy and airy texture.
- Add the oil and vanilla essence, mixing gently to avoid losing air from the mixture.
- In another bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder, then incorporate this mixture into the egg composition. Use a spatula and mix gently with up-and-down movements to keep the air in the mixture.

2. Baking the bases:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare a larger baking tray (ideally a baking sheet) by greasing it with a little margarine and lining it with baking paper.
- Pour the mixture into the tray and level it evenly. Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, until the base is firm and lightly golden.
- Once the base is baked, remove it from the oven and, while it is warm, roll it up with the baking paper. Let it cool completely in this form, as it will remain flexible and will not crack.

3. Preparing the cream:
- While the base cools, you can prepare the cream. Whip the cream until it becomes firm, being careful not to over-whip it, or it will turn into butter.
- In a separate bowl, mix the nut cream with the whipped cream, using a spatula to incorporate the ingredients without losing volume.

4. Assembling the roll:
- Once the base has cooled, carefully unroll it. Spread a generous layer of Nutella over the entire surface of the base. This combination of chocolate and hazelnuts will provide an intense and creamy flavor.
- Then, add the whipped cream over the Nutella and spread it evenly. Roll the base carefully to obtain a tight roll, but not too tight, to avoid breaking.
- Place the roll in the refrigerator for about an hour to stabilize.

5. Glazing the roll:
- Finally, melt the white and dark chocolate separately, using a bain-marie or microwave. Be careful not to burn them!
- Once melted, pour the white chocolate and then the dark chocolate over the roll, alternating for a pleasant visual effect.
- Let the glaze set before cutting the roll into slices.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the Nutella and whipped cream roll alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a berry sauce for a contrast of flavors. A warm drink, such as an espresso or a flavored tea, will perfectly complement this dessert.

Tips and Variations

If you want to experiment, you can add a little coffee flavor or almond essence to the cream for a new taste. You can also try replacing Nutella with white chocolate or caramel cream, thus adapting the dessert to your taste.
