Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes
Number of servings: 8

Necessary ingredients:

*For the base:*
- 5 large eggs
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- 1 packet of chocolate Crem Ole
- 1 essence of rum

*For the cream:*
- 150 g Almette cream cheese with sour cream
- 100 g soft butter (at room temperature)
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

*For the glaze:*
- 50 g dark chocolate
- 50 ml whipping cream

Preparing the base:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Make sure the bowls are clean and dry to achieve a perfect foam. It is crucial that the egg whites have no traces of yolk, otherwise, they will not whip well.

2. Whipping the egg whites: In a large bowl, add the egg whites and a pinch of salt. Use an electric mixer to beat them until they become a stiff and glossy foam, similar to meringue. This is the aerated base of your roll.

3. Adding the sugar: Gradually add the sugar while continuing to mix. This step is essential as the sugar helps stabilize the foam. Continue mixing until you achieve a firm and glossy foam.

4. Preparing the yolks: In another bowl, mix the yolks with the oil and rum essence until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. At this point, the aroma of rum will begin to enrich the dough.

5. Combining the mixtures: Carefully pour the yolk mixture over the egg whites. Use a spatula to incorporate the ingredients, gently folding to avoid losing air from the egg whites.

6. Adding the Crem Ole: Finally, incorporate the packet of chocolate Crem Ole. Mix gently until homogeneous. This ingredient will add a chocolate note and a soft texture.

7. Baking: Pour the batter into a baking tray (42/29 cm) lined with baking paper. Make sure it is evenly distributed for even baking. Place the tray in the preheated oven at 180°C (medium heat) for about 20 minutes. When ready, the base will be slightly browned and elastic to the touch.

8. Cooling: Remove the base from the oven and, with the baking paper, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Preparing the cream:

1. Mixing the ingredients: In a bowl, add the soft butter and powdered sugar. Mix at medium speed until you obtain a fluffy composition.

2. Incorporating the cream cheese: Add the cream cheese and continue mixing until homogeneous. This will give a creamy and delicious taste to the preparation.

3. Adding the flavors: Finally, add the vanilla sugar and cinnamon. Mix again to integrate them completely. The aroma of cinnamon will provide a warm and comforting taste.

4. Assembling the roll: After the base has cooled completely, spread the cream cheese evenly over it. Make sure the layer is even for easy rolling. Roll the base along its length, forming a tight roll.

5. Cooling: Place the roll on a platter and refrigerate it to firm up, ideally for about 30 minutes.

Preparing the glaze:

1. Melting the chocolate: In a small pot, melt the dark chocolate together with the whipping cream over low heat. Stir constantly to avoid burning the chocolate.

2. Cooling the glaze: Once the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is homogeneous, let it cool slightly. If you're in a hurry, you can put it in the freezer for a few minutes to firm up slightly.

3. Finalizing the roll: Mix the glaze with a mixer for a few seconds until it becomes fluffy. Then, spread the glaze over the well-cooled roll, ensuring it is evenly covered.

4. Decorating: For an attractive appearance, decorate the roll with chocolate balls or other preferred ornaments.

Serving suggestions: The roll with cream cheese and cinnamon can be served plain or alongside a scoop of whipped cream. A cup of tea or coffee will perfectly complement this dessert, creating an unforgettable experience.

Possible variations: You can experiment with different types of cream cheese, adding dried fruits or chopped nuts to the cream mixture. You can also replace cinnamon with other spices such as nutmeg or vanilla to change the flavor of the roll.

Nutritional benefits: This roll is a source of protein from eggs and cheese, and cinnamon has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. When consumed in moderation, it can be a pleasant snack within a balanced diet.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use another type of cream cheese? Yes, you can use any type of cream cheese you prefer, but make sure it is soft enough to mix easily.
2. How can I store the roll? The roll stores well in the refrigerator, covered, for 3-4 days.
3. Can I freeze the roll? Yes, you can freeze the roll, but it is recommended to leave it without glaze. The glaze may not have the same texture after thawing.
