- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 100 g of butter (melted)
For the mousses:
*1. White chocolate mousse:*
- 200 ml of liquid cream
- 200 g of white chocolate
- 2 g of gelatin (1 sheet, soaked in 30 ml of cold water)
- 100 ml of whipped cream
*2. Milk chocolate mousse:*
- 200 ml of liquid cream
- 200 g of milk chocolate
- 1 sheet of gelatin, soaked in 30 ml of cold water
- 100 ml of whipped cream
*3. Dark chocolate mousse:*
- 200 ml of liquid cream
- 200 g of dark chocolate
- 1 sheet of gelatin, soaked in 30 ml of cold water

Preparation
Step 1: Preparing the base
1. Start by crushing the digestive biscuits. You can do this with a rolling pin or, more quickly, with a food processor. The goal is to achieve a fine texture, similar to breadcrumbs.
2. Mix the crushed biscuits with the sugar and melted butter until a slightly crumbly paste forms. This will be the base of your roll.
3. Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving some excess wrap on the edges to make it easier to remove the roll. Press the biscuit mixture evenly into the pan and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to set.
Step 2: Preparing the mousses
1. While the base cools, you can start preparing the three mousses. Soak the gelatin in cold water and let it absorb the liquid.
2. In a saucepan, heat 50 ml of the 200 ml of liquid cream until it reaches boiling point, then add the finely chopped white chocolate. Stir well until the chocolate is completely melted, then add the drained gelatin. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
3. Whip the remaining 150 ml of cream until firm and carefully fold it into the white chocolate mixture.
4. Repeat the same steps for the milk and dark chocolate mousses, using the corresponding ingredients.
Step 3: Assembling the roll
1. Remove the biscuit base from the fridge and pour the mousses into the pan, one on top of the other, in layers to achieve a gradient effect.
2. After pouring all the mousses, you can prepare a lid from biscuits quickly soaked in strong coffee. This step is optional but adds a note of moisture and flavor to the roll.
3. Cover the roll with plastic wrap and refrigerate it to set well, ideally overnight.
Step 4: Serving
1. Once the roll has cooled and set, remove it from the pan and slice it with a sharp knife. Arrange the slices on a plate and, if desired, decorate them with a little whipped cream or grated chocolate.
2. The chocolate roll with three types of chocolate is served cold and kept in the refrigerator until serving.
Useful tips
- Gelatin: If you don’t have gelatin sheets, you can use granulated gelatin. Weigh the appropriate amount and follow the instructions on the package for activation.
- Ingredient temperatures: Make sure the cream and chocolate are at the correct temperature before mixing them to avoid lumps.
- Vegan option: You can replace the chocolate with vegan varieties and the cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
- Serving combinations: The roll pairs perfectly with a berry sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Nutritional benefits
The chocolate roll with three types of chocolate offers an explosion of flavors and a creamy texture thanks to the mousses. White chocolate contains calcium, while dark chocolate brings antioxidants. Moderate consumption of this dessert can add a touch of happiness to your busy days.
