Ingredients:

For the sponge cake:
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons flour

For the ice cream:
- 100 g white chocolate with cappuccino flavor
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 200 g Philadelphia with Milka chocolate (for decoration)

Preparation:

1. Preparing the sponge cake:
- Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites in a large bowl using a mixer until they form stiff peaks. Gradually add the brown sugar, continuing to mix until the mixture becomes glossy and firm.
- Gently fold in the egg yolks using a spatula or wooden spoon. It's important not to mix too vigorously to avoid losing the air from the egg whites.
- Sifting the flour is essential to avoid lumps. Gradually add the flour, mixing carefully from top to bottom to maintain the fluffy texture.
- Pour the mixture into a baking tray lined with parchment paper and level it. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 12 minutes, or until lightly golden and elastic to the touch.

2. Preparing the ice cream:
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the egg yolks, milk, and chopped white chocolate. Place the bowl over a pot of hot water (bain-marie) and whisk constantly. Stop when the mixture thickens and changes texture. This will create a creamy base.
- Separately, beat the egg whites in another bowl over steam until they form stiff peaks. Then, carefully fold them into the chocolate cream, mixing gently to combine.
- Whip the heavy cream until it becomes slightly firm, then fold it into the chocolate cream. This is the secret to airy and delicious ice cream!

3. Assembling the roll:
- Once the sponge cake has completely cooled, cut a strip from it to fit into the loaf pan. Place the edges of the strip against the sides of the pan.
- Pour a layer of ice cream cream over the sponge cake, making sure to spread it evenly. Place a slice of sponge cake over the ice cream cream, and continue to alternate layers of cream and sponge cake until you finish the ingredients.
- Cover the roll with plastic wrap and freeze it overnight to completely set.

4. Decorating and serving:
- The next day, remove the roll from the mold and coat it with Philadelphia with Milka chocolate, creating an attractive appearance.
- Slice the roll and serve it with chocolate sauce or some fresh fruits for a pleasant contrast. Offer a splash of freshly brewed coffee alongside to enhance the cappuccino flavors.

Helpful tips:
- Ingredients: Use fresh eggs for a firmer foam. Brown sugar will provide a deeper flavor compared to white sugar. You can also experiment with different chocolate or ice cream flavors.
- Dairy-free option: You can use plant-based alternatives for cream and cheese to make a vegan version. Coconut or almond ice cream can be a delicious choice.
- Variations: Instead of white chocolate with cappuccino, you can try dark or milk chocolate, and for added texture, add chopped nuts or almonds between the layers of cream.
