Preparation time: 20 minutes
Chilling time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours and 20 minutes
Number of servings: 8

Ingredients:
- 250 g soft Petit Beurre cookies
- 150 g butter or margarine
- 100 g spreadable chocolate (like Finetti)
- 250 g fresh cottage cheese (fine cream)
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 50 ml liquid cream
- 100 g fresh raspberries (or another seasonal fresh fruit)

Making this delight is simple but requires a little patience when it comes to chilling. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Preparing the cookies
Start by grinding the soft Petit Beurre cookies in a food processor. They will form the base of your roll. Make sure to turn them into fine crumbs to achieve a uniform texture. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a rolling pin to crush them by placing them in a plastic bag and gently hitting them.

Step 2: Mixing with margarine and chocolate
Once the cookies are ground, melt the butter or margarine in a double boiler or microwave. Add the spreadable chocolate and mix well until you achieve a homogeneous composition. This mixture will add a rich and creamy taste to your roll. Mix the ground cookies with the margarine and chocolate until all ingredients are perfectly integrated.

Step 3: Forming the cookie base
Spread the cookie mixture between two sheets of cling film, making sure to create an even layer about 0.5 cm thick. This technique will make rolling much easier and will prevent the layers from breaking. Ensure that the layer is straight and even for an aesthetic presentation.

Step 4: Cheese cream
In a separate bowl, mix the fresh cottage cheese with the liquid cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla sugar. Use an electric mixer to obtain a fine and airy cream. This cream will add a delicious contrast to the cookies.

Step 5: Assembling the roll
Spread the fine cheese cream over the cookie base, covering the entire surface. Then, add the fresh raspberries, sprinkling them evenly over the cheese cream. If you prefer other fruits, you can try strawberries, blueberries, or even peaches. Each variation will add a unique touch to your dessert.

Step 6: Rolling and chilling
Carefully roll the cookie base with the cream and raspberries, using the cling film to help. Make sure that the roll is tight but not too tight to avoid breaking. Once you have a well-formed roll, wrap it in cling film and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This step is essential to allow the dessert to set and take on a beautiful shape.

Step 7: Serving
After the chilling time has expired, take the roll out of the refrigerator. Unwrap the cling film and, with a sharp knife, cut the roll into suitable slices. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for an elegant appearance. The cookie roll can be served plain or alongside a scoop of ice cream or a fruit sauce. It is an ideal dessert for parties, birthdays, or simply to indulge yourself.

Nutritional benefits
This recipe brings together simple and healthy ingredients: the cookies provide carbohydrates, the fresh cheese is a source of protein, and the raspberries bring antioxidants and vitamins. Of course, it is important to consume this dessert in moderation, considering the sugar and fats from margarine and chocolate.
