Ingredients

*For the vanilla base:*
- 5 eggs
- 125 g powdered sugar
- 125 g flour
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Juice of one lemon
- Jam or Nutella for filling
- Butter or Rama margarine for greasing the pan
- Sprinkles and powdered sugar for decoration

*For the chocolate base:*
- 5 eggs
- 125 g powdered sugar
- 100 g flour
- 25 g cocoa
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Juice of one lemon
- Jam or Nutella for filling
- Butter or Rama margarine for greasing the pan
- Sprinkles and powdered sugar for decoration

Step by step for a perfect result

1. Preparing the oven and the pan

Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. Greasing the pan with butter or margarine is essential to prevent the base from sticking. Dust the pan with flour, ensuring it is evenly distributed for a smooth and perfect appearance.

2. Preparing the vanilla base

- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy with a mixer on high speed, gradually adding the powdered sugar. Continue mixing until you achieve a firm and glossy foam.
- Add the yolks, flour, vanilla sugar, baking powder, and lemon juice. Mix with a spatula or on low speed until combined. Be strict; do not overmix, or the base will become dense.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and level the surface with a spatula.

3. Baking the vanilla base

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes. The base is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once it has cooled slightly, remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a rack.

4. Filling and rolling

Once the base has cooled, spread it evenly with jam or Nutella, your choice. Carefully roll it up, forming a tight roll. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to maintain its shape.

5. Preparing the chocolate base

Follow the same steps as for the vanilla base, but this time use the ingredients for the chocolate base. After removing it from the oven, let it cool completely before filling it.

6. Finalizing the rolls

Once both bases have been filled and cooled, cut the rolls into slices 3-4 cm thick. Gently open each piece at one end, forming a small head and a longer body, to create a cute snail shape.

7. Decorating

At the smaller end, add sprinkles to create eyes and horns. Arrange the rolls on a platter and sprinkle with powdered sugar and colorful sprinkles. They will look splendid and will surely be a hit at any party!

Useful tips for guaranteed success

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a uniform mixture.
- You can experiment with different fillings, such as cream cheese or melted chocolate, to add a personal touch.
- If you want to keep them for later, wrap the rolls in aluminum foil and store them in the freezer. They will be just as delicious after thawing!
