Ingredients:
For the Base:
- 250g ground Lotus cookies
- 70ml milk
For the Filling:
- 250g mascarpone cheese
- 3 tablespoons Lotus cookie spread
Instructions:
- Prepare the Base:
In a large bowl, combine the ground Lotus cookies and milk. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined. Roll out the mixture between two sheets of parchment paper to form an even layer, which will serve as the base for your roll. - Make the Filling:
In another bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese and Lotus cookie spread until smooth and creamy. This creates the rich, balanced filling that pairs perfectly with the cookie base. - Assemble the Roll:
Spread the mascarpone and Lotus filling evenly over the cookie base. Carefully roll the base up into a log shape, using the parchment paper to help guide you. Place the roll in the refrigerator for about an hour to firm up. - Finishing Touches:
Once the roll is chilled and firm, you can drizzle it with extra Lotus spread and sprinkle with more crushed Lotus cookies if desired. - Serve and Enjoy:
Slice the Lotus Cookie Roll into rounds and serve. It's perfect as a chilled dessert or snack, and the combination of creamy and crunchy textures is simply irresistible.
Tips:
- If you don’t have mascarpone cheese, you can substitute with whipped cream or cream cheese for a different but still delicious variation.
- For an extra indulgent touch, you can dip the slices into melted chocolate before serving.
Enjoy your delicious Lotus Cookie Roll – a dessert that's as simple to make as it is delightful to eat!
