We begin the culinary adventure with a basic ingredient: ground nuts. They form the foundation of our delicious recipe, bringing a rich flavor and pleasant texture. In a large bowl, we mix the ground nuts with 250 g of powdered sugar and a tablespoon of cocoa. This combination not only enriches the aroma but also provides an intense color hue. Using a mixer with spiral paddles, we add an egg, being careful to mix the ingredients until we achieve a consistent, homogeneous composition. This will be the base of the 'future dough', an essential element of our dessert.
After obtaining the desired mixture, we carefully wrap it in plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for one hour. This step is crucial, as cooling will allow the ingredients to blend perfectly and facilitate the subsequent shaping.
While we wait, we take care of the delicious cream. The butter, at room temperature, is mixed with 120 g of powdered sugar, again using the spiral paddles. When the mixture becomes creamy and homogeneous, we add the boiled egg yolks, which have been previously passed through a sieve to eliminate any lumps. Vanilla essence is essential, bringing a delightful and deep flavor. We continue to mix the composition until all the ingredients are perfectly integrated.
After the cooling time has expired, we turn our attention to rolling out the dough. On a clean work surface, we use a rolling pin to evenly roll out the cold mixture, ensuring we achieve an approximately rectangular shape, with a thickness of about 0.7 mm. This technique will ensure an even dough, ready to be filled.
Now, with the help of a kitchen spatula, we spread the previously prepared cream over the surface of our dough, making sure it is evenly distributed. This step is crucial, as the cream will add extra flavor to every bite.
After carefully completing this operation, we proceed to roll the dough very carefully, ensuring that the filling remains well wrapped. The rolling should be tight but not too much, to avoid breaking it. Once we have completed this step, we wrap the roll in plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge for 3 - 4 hours. This waiting time will allow the flavors to intensify and the texture to become perfect for savoring. So, with a little patience, we will reward ourselves with a delicious dessert that will delight all the senses!
