Description
A delightful roll filled with whipped cream and crushed mini eggs that adds a playful crunch and vibrant color, perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 75 g caster sugar
- 50 g plain flour (sieved)
- 25 g cocoa powder (sieved)
- 300 ml double cream
- 1 tbsp icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or paste
- 100 g Mini Eggs (crushed)
- 25 g milk chocolate (melted)
- 39 g Mini Eggs (whole)
- 10 g Mini Eggs (crushed)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 160C (fan)/400F/Gas Mark 6. Prepare your Swiss roll tin by lining it with baking paper.
- Whisk Eggs and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and caster sugar with an electric hand whisk or stand mixer for about eight minutes, until the mixture reaches that magical ‘ribbon stage’.
- Fold in Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the sieved flour and cocoa powder, being careful not to deflate the mix.
- Bake the Sponge: Pour your mixture into the lined tin, spreading it evenly with a palette knife. Bake for 12 minutes.
- Cool and Roll: Once baked, carefully flip the sponge onto a clean sheet of baking paper. Roll it up with the clean paper and allow it to cool completely.
- Prepare the Whipped Cream Filling: In another bowl, whip the double cream, mixing in icing sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Assemble the Roll: Once cool, unroll the sponge carefully and spread the whipped cream evenly across it. Sprinkle the crushed mini eggs over the whipped cream, then re-roll the sponge gently.
- Final Touches: Place your rolled sponge on a serving plate. Drizzle with melted chocolate and add whole and crushed mini eggs for decoration.
- Serve & Enjoy: Slice into generous pieces and serve immediately.
Notes
Make-ahead Tips: Bake the sponge a day in advance and store wrapped in plastic wrap. Customize with different flavors or toppings.
