Ingredients:
- For the Cookie Base:
- 450g Speculoos cookies, finely crushed
- 160ml milk
- For the Cream Filling:
- 250g mascarpone cheese
- 40g granulated sugar
- 8g vanilla sugar
- 8g whip stabilizer
- 250ml heavy cream, unwhipped
- For the Topping:
- 150g Speculoos spread
- For the Garnish:
- Speculoos cookies, as needed
- Strawberries, as needed
- Prepare the Cookie Base:
- In a deep bowl, combine the finely crushed Speculoos cookies with milk gradually until well mixed. Adjust the milk as needed depending on the moisture absorption of the cookies.
- Shape the Base:
- Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap on your work surface. Spread the cookie mixture onto it and cover with parchment paper. Flatten with a rolling pin to a 35x35 cm square.
- Mix the Cream:
- In another deep bowl, blend the mascarpone, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, and whip stabilizer until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream, mixing until the cream forms stiff peaks.
- Assemble the Roll:
- Spread the cream evenly over the cookie base, reserving some for garnish. Using the plastic wrap for support, carefully roll the cookie base into a tight log. Chill in the refrigerator to firm up.
- Prepare the Topping:
- Gently heat the Speculoos spread in a saucepan over low heat until smooth and spreadable.
- Finish and Garnish:
- Remove the chilled roll from the refrigerator, unwrap, and place on a serving dish. Spread the warmed Speculoos topping over the roll. Pipe remaining cream and add garnishes of Speculoos cookies and fresh strawberries.
