Preparation time: 25 minutes
Baking time: 12 minutes
Total time: 3 hours and 37 minutes (including cooling time)
Number of servings: 8-10
Ingredients
For the roll:
- 4 eggs
- 100 g brown sugar
- 80 g flour
- 40 g cocoa
- 2 tablespoons hot milk
- A pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
For the filling:
- 500 g sweet cheese
- 100 g powdered vanilla sugar
- One organic orange (make sure it's organic to avoid chemicals)
For the glaze:
- 125 g dark chocolate
- 25 g white chocolate
- 25 g butter
- 1 small cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons milk
Preparation
1. Preparing the roll layers
Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Prepare a baking tray (approximately 30 x 40 cm) and grease it with butter, then place a sheet of parchment paper, also greased with a little butter, to prevent sticking.
2. Mixing the eggs
In a large bowl, beat the four eggs with a pinch of salt for about 1 minute, using an electric mixer or a whisk. The eggs should become fluffy and double in volume.
3. Adding the ingredients
Add the brown sugar and vanilla essence, continuing to mix for 3 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the cocoa and flour, taking care not to deflate the mixture. Finally, add the two tablespoons of hot milk and mix well.
4. Baking the layers
Pour the obtained batter into the prepared tray, spreading it evenly. Bake for 12 minutes, then remove the tray from the oven. Using a spatula, invert the layer onto a damp, wrung kitchen towel. Carefully remove the parchment paper and roll the layer tightly, using the damp towel to assist. Allow it to cool completely.
Preparing the filling
5. Creating the cheese filling
Meanwhile, prepare the cheese filling. In a bowl, mix the sweet cheese with the powdered vanilla sugar until you obtain a fine and creamy mixture. Peel the organic orange, cut it into small cubes, and add it to the cheese mixture.
6. Assembling the roll
Carefully unroll the cooled layer and spread the cheese filling evenly over it. Distribute the orange cubes across the entire surface. Roll the layer again, but without the towel, ensuring it is tight. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preparing the glaze
7. Creating the delicious glaze
To prepare the glaze, melt the dark chocolate together with the butter in a bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave. Mix well until smooth. Add the maple syrup and mix again.
8. Decorating the roll
After the roll has cooled, remove it from the wrap and place it on a serving platter. Pour the dark chocolate glaze evenly over the roll.
9. Adding final touches
For a special effect, melt the white chocolate with the 2 tablespoons of milk and, using a spoon, drizzle from the center outwards, creating a marbled effect on the dark chocolate glaze.
Cooling and serving
10. Final cooling
Allow the roll to cool for a minimum of 3 hours so that the glaze sets, and the flavors combine perfectly.
11. Serving
To serve, slice the roll and place it on an elegant platter. You can decorate with slices of orange or a dollop of fresh whipped cream for an extra touch of refinement. This roll pairs wonderfully with a fragrant black tea or a sweet wine, making it an ideal dessert for a special evening.
