Delicious Chocolate Roulade That Your Family Will love!
Hi again, Im back with a really simple Chocolate Roulade recipe. I made
it again over the weekend and it didn’t las too long with my family around.
I love this recipe as there are very few ingredients. It is easy to adapt,
sometimes I added the berries to the roulade or to vary it a bit I would serve
with raspberry coulis on the side. Or if feeling in need of a chocolate boost,
I would fill with chocolate mousse instead of cream. Yum!
It is a recipe that can be prepared the day before, by cooking the sponge and
whipping the cream, if you are short on time, lovely for Christmas day.
