Step by step: Making the roll Step 1: Preparing the dough 1. Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until you achieve a firm foam. 2. Gradually add the yolks, sweetener, water, juice from half an orange, and oil, continuing to beat. 3. Incorporate the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Mix gently until you obtain a homogeneous composition. Step 2: Creating the design 1. Divide the dough into several cups, adding the natural food colorings according to the chosen design. I used green, yellow, red, and cocoa to create the Christmas trees and pine cones. 2. Add a teaspoon of flour to each cup to thicken the mixture slightly, making it easier to use for drawing. 3. Draw the desired pattern on a baking paper, then place it in the freezer for 5 minutes to harden. Step 3: Baking the roll 1. Once the design has hardened, pour the remaining dough over it, leveling well. 2. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (medium heat) for about 10 minutes. The roll should remain white, slightly golden. Be careful, if you bake it too long, it will taste like an omelet! 3. Remove the roll from the oven and transfer it to a kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar with rum flavor. Carefully roll it up, letting it cool completely. Step 4: The filling 1. Peel the oranges and cut them in half. You will need 5 halves. 2. In a bowl, beat the mascarpone cream with the liquid cream and Bourbon sugar until you achieve a fluffy composition. 3. Carefully unroll the roll, fill it with the mascarpone cream, leaving a little space at the edges to avoid overflow. Place the orange halves on top, then roll it up again with the help of plastic wrap to tighten it well. Step 5: Cooling and serving 1. Place the roll in the refrigerator until serving time. This will allow the flavors to combine and make cutting easier. 2. Before serving, sprinkle powdered sugar with rum flavor for an extra touch of flavor. Serving suggestions This roll pairs wonderfully with a cup of hot chocolate or spiced mulled wine. Additionally, for a touch of freshness, you can add a handful of toasted nuts or almonds on top before serving. Tips and variations - If you want a gluten-free version, try using almond flour or a combination of rice flour and cornstarch. - Experiment with other flavors by adding a few drops of vanilla extract to the mascarpone cream or using other seasonal fruits. - For an even more festive look, decorate the roll with coconut flakes to mimic snow.

Can I use other fruits instead of oranges? Of course! The roll can easily be adapted. Try strawberries, raspberries, or even peaches for a different flavor. 2. How can I prevent the roll from cracking? Make sure the dough is not overbaked and let it cool wrapped in a towel. This will prevent cracking. 3. How long can the roll be stored? The roll can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but it is best consumed fresh. Enjoy and happy holidays!
