The history of this dessert is filled with sweet memories, based on simple yet incredibly tasty combinations. The dome is a mini cake that brings together the fluffy texture of raspberry roll and the delicate creaminess of lemon cream, creating a perfect contrast between sweet and tangy. It is a quick dessert, ideal for any occasion – from a family dinner to a party with friends. Let’s discover together how to prepare it!
Ingredients:
- 1 raspberry roll (300 g)
- 1 packet of lemon cream powder (like Dr. Oetker)
- 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- 150 ml of liquid cream (make sure it is very cold)
- 150 ml of milk (also cold)
- 1 cube of white chocolate (for decoration)
Step-by-step preparation:
1. Preparing the ingredients: Make sure the cream and milk are very cold. This is essential to achieve a fluffy and well-set cream. You can even keep them in the fridge a few hours before starting the recipe.
2. Preparing the lemon cream: In a deep bowl, add the packet of lemon cream, powdered sugar, and cold milk. Use an electric mixer to blend the mixture for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and fluffy. For added creaminess, fold in the liquid cream gently with a spatula or using the mixer on low speed.
3. Preparing the bowl: Take a deep bowl and line it with plastic wrap, ensuring it overhangs the edges of the bowl. This step will make it easier to remove the mini cake after cooling.
4. Assembling the mini cake: Place the slices of roll along the edge of the bowl, making sure to place them tightly next to each other. This will form a beautiful “wall” for the mini cake. After placing the roll, carefully pour the lemon cream inside, filling the bowl. Then, cover the cream with more slices of roll, pressing gently to compact everything.
5. Cooling: Cover everything with plastic wrap and place the bowl in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the cream to set and helps the mini cake maintain its shape.
6. Unmolding the mini cake: After the cooling time has expired, take the mini cake out of the fridge. Carefully turn the bowl upside down onto a flat plate, gently lifting the plastic wrap. You will see how your mini cake takes shape!
7. Decorating: Grate the cube of white chocolate on top of the mini cake for an attractive look and added flavor. If desired, you can cover the mini cake with a thin layer of cream or wrap it with another layer of lemon cream.
Practical tips:
- If you don’t have raspberry roll on hand, you can use any other type of roll or even cookies to create an alternative base.
- Instead of lemon cream, you can experiment with vanilla or chocolate cream, depending on your preferences.
- The mini cake can be served with a garnish of fresh fruits, such as raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries, which will add a delicious contrast.
Nutritional benefits:
This recipe is a lighter choice compared to many traditional desserts. The raspberry roll provides vitamins and antioxidants, while the lemon cream offers a refreshing taste. However, keep in mind the sugar content, which may vary depending on the ingredients used.

You can adapt the recipe using vegan alternatives for milk and cream, but the texture and taste will be different.
