Raspberry Chocolate Ice Cream Roulade

by . 20 Comments

While I love all types of cakes, aking rolled cake is my ultimate favorite. Light, creamy and yummilicious! This almost flour less cake is not only an elegant dessert for a special occasion but is also simple to make for an everyday summer treat!  It’s just a matter of mixing, pouring, baking, cooling and rolling. Rolling the cake seems a bit difficult at first, but one will get the hang soon enough. Some fill the cake with whipped cream, some with buttercream and some simply spread it with jam. In warm weather I like to fill the roulade with ice cream. It can be assembled and frozen a week or two in advance until you need it and can be thawed in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving.

 

 

I find that hazelnut meal adds loads of flavor in cakes with chocolate. So the sponge cake for the ice cream roulade is made with dark chocolate, hazelnut meal and cornstarch in addition to eggs.  It makes a rich, yet light base for an ice cream filling of  white chocolate and raspberry. How cool! I have never gone to length of making my own ice cream for a cake like this, but if you want to, go for it. When spreading the ice cream filling on the cake make sure it is soft enough to handle, leave about an inch around the sides and the edge nearest you and about 2 inches at the edge furthest from you. This will prevent the filling from squishing out as you roll the cake.

 

 

Try making ice cream roulade this summer, it will make for an interesting addition to your gluten free dessert repertoire!

Raspberry Chocolate Ice Cream Roulade

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: serves 8

This delightful chocolate ice cream roulade is a fabulous finale to a summer meal.

Ingredients

    For roulade
  • 35 g (1/3 cup) hazelnut meal
  • 2 tbsp corn starch
  • 112.5 g (4 oz) dark chocolate
  • 75 g (1/3 cup) sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • cocoa powder for dusting
    • For the filling
  • 500 ml white chocolate raspberry ice cream
  • raspberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9" jelly roll pan and line it with parchment. Grease the parchment.
  2. Melt the chocolate in microwave or in a heat proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
  3. In a bowl whisk hazelnut meal and corn starch.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with sugar until thick and pale. Stir the melted chocolate and the flour into the yolk mixture.
  5. Whisk the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer until stiff.
  6. Stir a quarter of the egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remainder.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it gently.
  8. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the cake is just firm.
  9. Turn it out on a parchment paper, which has been dusted with cocoa powder.
  10. Leave to cool for 5 minutes, then peel away the lining.
  11. Roll up the cake tightly, encasing the parchment (greaseproof) paper. Leave to cool completely.
  12. Unroll the cake, spread the ice cream (if you want a raspberry center in the roulade, make a line of fresh raspberries on the edge nearest to you ).
  13. Gently roll the cake from the narrow end using the paper to help.
  14. Slide the roulade off the paper lined baking sheet and onto a long plate that is freezer proof. Cover (with a foil, I just use the bread bag) and freeze overnight.
  15. Transfer to the refrigerator 20 minutes before serving. Cut into slices and arrange on serving plates with the raspberries.
