From the classic roll that brings family memories to life to modern versions with innovative fillings, each recipe tells a story. The unity between the fluffy base and the smooth cream makes the roll a symbol of celebration and joy. The necessary ingredients are as follows: For the decorative paste: - 1 egg white - 20 g dark cocoa - 20 g flour - 30 g sugar - 30 g butter For the base: - 4 eggs - 125 g flour - 150 g granulated sugar - 1 pinch of salt For the cream: - 150 g mascarpone cheese - 200 ml liquid plant cream - 2 tablespoons dried goji berries - 1/2 pomegranate (seeds) Step by step in preparing the mascarpone, pomegranate, and goji roll: *1. Preparing the decorative paste:* We start with a creative step that will give the roll an attractive appearance. In a bowl, mix the egg white with the cocoa, flour, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous composition. A good idea is not to overmix, so the paste remains slightly denser. *2. Preparing the tray for decoration:* Take a 38 x 28 cm tray and line it with baking paper. Use a stencil to outline a beautiful pattern on the paper. Now, place the decorative paste in a piping bag with a plain tip. If you encounter difficulties with the piping bag, make sure to use a quality one. Pipe the paste onto the baking paper according to the chosen pattern. *3. Cooling the decorative paste:* After you finish piping, place the tray in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. This step is essential to fix the decorative pattern. *4. Preparing the base:* Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy. Gradually add 100 g of sugar and continue mixing until completely dissolved. In another bowl, beat the yolks with 50 g of sugar until you obtain a fluffy foam. Gently combine the egg whites with the yolks, using a spatula to maintain air in the composition. Sift the flour and gently incorporate it into the mixture, being careful not to form lumps. *5. Baking the base:* Remove the tray from the refrigerator, pour the mixture over the decorative pattern, and level it with a spatula. Place the tray in the oven on the middle rack for 15-20 minutes. You can do the toothpick test: if it comes out clean, the base is ready. After baking, remove the tray and peel the base off the baking paper. Try to roll it with the paper to cool evenly. *6. Preparing the cream:* While the base cools, you can prepare the cream. Whip the liquid cream until it becomes firm. Add the mascarpone cheese and mix gently until homogenized. Incorporate the dried goji berries and pomegranate seeds, mixing with a spoon to evenly distribute the ingredients. *7. Assembling the roll:* After the base has cooled, trim the edges for a uniform appearance. Spread the mascarpone cream over the entire surface of the base. Now is the time to carefully roll the base, using the baking paper to help you. Make sure the roll is tight, but don’t overdo it to avoid breaking. *8. Final cooling:* Place the roll in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, so it sets well. This step is crucial for the flavors to combine perfectly. Useful tips: - Use quality ingredients, especially mascarpone cheese, to achieve a rich and delicious cream. - If you prefer a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the base and cream. - Goji berries can be replaced with other dried fruits, such as cranberries or apricots, to vary the flavors. - The roll pairs wonderfully with a fruit tea or a light white wine, enhancing the delicate flavors of the dessert.
