Recipe:
- Ingredients:
- 200g ladyfinger biscuits
- 2 cups hot cocoa
- 250g mascarpone cheese
- 400g whipping cream
- 200g sweet hazelnut spread (add 50g sugar if using unsweetened)
- 2 packages of cream stabilizer
- 5-6 chocolate hazelnut bars
For Decoration:
- 200g whipping cream
- 1 package of cream stabilizer
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- Additional cocoa powder for sprinkling
- 3 chocolate hazelnut bars
Method:
- Line a tray with double layers of plastic wrap. Briefly dip ladyfingers in hot cocoa and place them in two tight rows on the tray. Let them soften for about an hour until they can be molded without breaking (refrigerate if possible).
- For the filling, mix mascarpone, cream (liquid), hazelnut spread, and cream stabilizer until creamy. Spread evenly over the ladyfingers.
- Chop the chocolate hazelnut bars and sprinkle over the cream.
- Using the plastic wrap, press the ladyfingers together tightly by sliding your forearms under the wrap and pressing upwards until they meet. Tighten the wrap and seal the ends to maintain the roll’s shape. Chill in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
- Remove the wrap. Whip the cream with cream stabilizer and cocoa powder, and use a piping bag to decorate the roll. Sprinkle with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate hazelnut bars.
Enjoy!
