FLUFFY COFFEE CREAM SWISS ROLL TO SAY "DADDY, I LOVE YOU"

A simple, scenographic, and mouthwatering dessert perfect to suprise your Dad on Father's Day.

Ingredients:

For the sponge cake

  • 4 eggs
  • 35 g cornstarch or potato starch
  • 35 g flour (rice flour for a gluten-free version)
  • 80 g sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 small cup of Monforte Caffè

For the cream filling

  • 250 ml whipped cream
  • 125 g mascarpone cheese
  • 4 coffee cups of Monforte Caffè
  • Sugar or honey to taste

MonforteChoc unsweetened cocoa powder to sprinkle on top

Preparation:

  • Separate the egg yolks from the whites and whip the egg whites to a firm or stiff peak.
  • In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and a pinch of salt. Then gently add the mixture into the egg whites using a spatula, with upward movements from the bottom.
  • Next, add the flour and starch until you get a smooth and even mixture.
  • Pour it into a rectangular baking tray (a standard oven tray works well) lined with parchment paper and bake at 190–200°C for 7 minutes in a static oven.
  • Place the baked base onto a kitchen towel and roll it up from the longer side, using the towel to help. Let it cool.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the cream filling. Whip the cream. In a bowl, mix mascarpone with coffee until smooth, then gradually fold in the whipped cream. Add honey or sugar if needed to taste.
  • Unroll the cooled base gently, spread the mascarpone and coffee cream over it, and roll it up again.
  • Place on a serving plate and sprinkle one tablespoon of MonforteChoc unsweetened cocoa powder on top before serving.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
