How to bake a roulade dessert dough?
Hello, my dear friends. Today I have the pleasure to present you a dessert that is as beautiful as it is delicious. I am writing you about the Mascarpone and Raspberry Cream Roulade. For many years I avoided cooking desserts in the roll form because it seemed extremely complicated to get that perfect shape that pleases your eyes.
I’ve tried several recipes and I’ve come to the conclusion that the dough for the roll can sometimes crack, and that’s not a problem π In the end, the result is extremely attractive and delicious. So, I recommend that you try to prepare this kind of dessert if you haven’t done it before, and if the dough is not perfect when you roll it out, that’s no problem, no one will notice anyway.
Therefore, I am very pleased to present to you an extremely simple yet delicious recipe for Mascarpone and Raspberry Cream Roulade. The particularity of this recipe is the use of carob powder in the composition of the batter, which will be rolled and filled with mascarpone cream and raspberry.
How to use carob powder in desserts?
Ever since my daughter Sofia, was born, I’ve only been using carob powder for various dessert recipes. I’ve gotten used to using carob powder instead of cocoa powder and my family finds it delicious. I know that it is recommended not to use cocoa powder in the diet of small children, so I chose to replace it in all recipes with carob powder.
I know there are people who can tell the difference between the taste of carob powder and the taste of cocoa powder, but I am not one of them. For me, carob powder is a healthy and delicious ingredient, perfect for use in kid friendly recipes. So, if you want to get a kids friendly dough, feel free to add carob powder into the composition and reduce, as much as possible, the amount of sugar in the batter. Sugar can be replaced with honey if you want to remove the sugar, but the texture of the cake may not be as spongy.
Carob powder, like cocoa powder, has a bitter taste, so you’ll need to sweeten the dough with sugar, honey, or any substitute you prefer.
How to get a delicious kids friendly roulade?
The secret for obtaining this extremely attractive and tasty dessert is the combination of delicious ingredients such as: mascarpone cheese, juicy raspberry and carob powder for the dough.
First of all, mascarpone cheese is the most suitable cream cheese variety for this delicious dessert, as it has both the right texture and the right taste. And the combination of mascarpone cheese and raspberry is a particularly tasty one, being a combination of sweet and slightly sour. Thus, you will get a fresh cream with a fine texture and a sweet and sour taste suitable for children, but also for adults.
I chose to use raspberry, because I think it combines perfect with mascarpone cream, but you can also use other seasonal fruits, such as strawberries, blueberries or even peaches, pears or whatever you prefer.
For the batter, I chose to add carob powder to the composition because, as I already said, I consider it to be a kid-friendly alternative to cocoa powder, and the final result presents itself in a beautiful contrast between the dark top and the pink mascarpone cream and raspberry. This makes Raspberry Cream Roulade colorful dessert.

Instructions
- Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. Insert the butterfly whisk into the mixing bowl and then add the egg whites together with a pinch of salt. Select 4 min β Speed 4, to obtain a foamy consistency. Transfer the foam into a bowl.

- Then pour the egg whites foam over the composition in the mixing bowl and mix gently with a spatula, from top to bottom.
- Pour the final composition into a tray lined with baking paper, level the dough layer well with a spatula and then put it in the preheated oven at 175Β° Celsius for 15 minutes.
- After the sheet has been baked, let it cool.
- In the meantime, prepare the cream. We place the butterfly whisk again in the bowl of the Thermomix and mix the whipping cream with the sugar for 2 minutes β Speed 3.5.
- Remove the butterfly whisk and add the mascarpone, then mix the cream well for 2 minutes β speed 3.
- Finally, add the vanilla and 150 g of raspberries. If you choose to use frozen raspberries, I recommend that you let them defrost and then drain them well in a sieve to remove the excessive water. Mix everything gentle with a spatula.
- Spread the cream over the dough sheet, sprinkle the rest of the raspberries and wrap it in plastic film. Keep the roulade in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, or overnight.
- HINT: Before spreading the cream over the dough sheet, using baking paper, gently roll the sheet to form the future roulade shape (see video).
- Optionally, melt the milk chocolate and using a piping bag or a bag cut at a corner, pour the melted chocolate over the roulade, for a special dΓ©cor.
