4. Make the Coconut Layer
- In a small bowl, combine the desiccated coconut with the sweetened condensed milk. Mix until a sticky yet manageable mixture forms.
5. Assemble the Hazelnut Cream and Coconut Roll
- Unroll the cooled sponge gently and spread a layer of the hazelnut cream filling evenly across the surface.
- Next, spread the coconut layer over the hazelnut cream. Use a spatula to ensure both layers are smooth and even.
- Carefully roll the sponge back up, ensuring it’s tight but not too compressed to avoid squeezing out the filling.
6. Chill and Garnish
- Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set the layers and enhance the flavors.
- Before serving, sprinkle the roll with shredded coconut and chopped hazelnuts. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top for an elegant touch.
Tips for the Perfect Hazelnut Cream and Coconut Roll
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better volume when whipping.
- Use high-quality hazelnut spread for the richest flavor.
- Chilling the roll before slicing helps achieve clean, beautiful cuts.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the Hazelnut Cream and Coconut Roll into thick rounds and serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. A hot cup of espresso or cappuccino pairs wonderfully with the dessert, enhancing its nutty and chocolatey undertones.
