Roll-Gold is sweet dish that originates in India and growing up, it was a signature dish at the parties hosted by one of our aunties. The concept is a swiss roll filled with cream, chocolate flakes and shards of boiled sweets, then topped with custard and more chocolates and sweets. The final product is a decadent dessert, that looks so impressive and tastes just as good.
Ingredients:
- 5 eggs
- 1tsp custard pwoder
- 1tsp white sugar
- 1tsp semolina powder
- 170g coloured boiled sweets, crushed into fragments
- 50g milk chocolate, grated
- 500ml double cream
- 1tsp white sugar
- Ready-to-eat custard
Method
- Heat oven to 180 (Gas Mark 8) and thoroughly grease a 9×11 inch rectangle tin.⠀
- Whisk together the eggs, custard powder, 1tsp sugar & semolina powder for approximately 45-50 minutes until it goes fluffy, turns a light pink colour and increases in size.⠀
- Meanwhile, set aside the crushed boiled sweets, grated chocolate and custard
- Whip the fresh cream with 1tsp sugar until stiff.
- Once the egg mixture is whisked and is light and fluffy, pour it into the cake tin. Bake it in the oven until golden and sponge-y: approx.8-10 minutes.⠀
- Once baked, remove from the oven and immediately, carefully tip it onto a large tray.⠀
- Sprinkle well with 3/4 of the crushed sweets and grated chocolate. Spread over the fresh cream, ensuring it’s fully covering the sponge⠀
- Quickly roll up the sponge like a Swiss roll, then lift off the tray and place in a serving dish.⠀
- Pour the custard over the Swiss roll⠀
- Sprinkle with remaining sweets and chocolate ⠀
- Leave in the fridge to cool until ready to serve⠀
Top Tips:
- Replace the boiled sweets with mithai for a more traditional taste
- Ensure oven is piping hot and DON’T open it whilst the sponge is baking.
- If you want to serve it hot, skip the custard step and instead, make/heat it and pour when ready to serve.⠀
- Once the sponge is done, you have to work really fast. Make sure sweets and fresh cream are prepared beforehand (prepare them whilst the mixture is whisking for that 45-50 minutes)
