Ricotta Roll with Cookies, Coconut, and Strawberries

To prepare a delicious roll with ricotta and coconut, you will need a few essential ingredients. We start by mixing the ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese) well with sugar in a large bowl. It is important to achieve a homogeneous mixture, so do not hesitate to use a spatula or whisk to ensure that the sugar is completely dissolved. Once you have obtained a smooth mass, add the grated coconut and the crushed biscuits. The latter will provide a pleasant texture to the roll, adding extra flavor as well. Don't forget to add the vanilla flavor, which will turn this recipe into a real treat for the taste buds.

Carefully mix all the ingredients again until they are perfectly combined. The final mixture should be slightly moist but not too sticky. If you notice that it is too soft, feel free to add more crushed biscuits to achieve the desired consistency. Once you are satisfied with the mixture, prepare a sheet of baking paper, which you will use as a base for the roll.

Spread the mixture onto the baking paper, leveling it with the help of a spoon. Make sure that the layer obtained is about 1-1.5 cm high, so that it is easy to roll later. After you finish spreading, cut the strawberries into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the mixture. The fresh aroma of the strawberries will add a note of freshness to the roll.

Now comes the interesting part: using the paper, start rolling the mixture. Make sure the roll is tight, but not so tight that you damage it. Finally, tightly secure the ends of the roll to prevent the filling from leaking out. Place the obtained roll in the refrigerator, in the coldest area, and let it cool for 3-4 hours. This resting time will allow the flavors to combine and the mixture to stabilize.

After cooling, take the roll out of the refrigerator and carefully remove the baking paper. For an attractive appearance and even more intense flavor, sprinkle grated coconut over the cooled roll. Also, if you wish, you can add grated coconut before spreading the mixture on the baking paper to achieve a crispy layer on the outside. This delicacy can be served as a refreshing dessert on hot days or as a sweet treat at any time of the day. Enjoy every slice of this ricotta and coconut roll and savor the combination of textures and flavors!
