Recipe for gluten-free rolls with coconut and chocolate. Have you tried our variations?

Coconut roll without flour

Since you won't need any flour to make this roll, the recipe can be described as naturally gluten-free. It's really easy to prepare and you'll quickly remember the list of ingredients!

All you will need is:

• 100 g granulated sugar
• 50 g cocoa
• 5 eggs
• 1 whipped cream 33%
• grated coconut

The procedure is as follows:

First, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until foamy and then add the cocoa. Beat everything together again.

Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites to make the whipped cream hold better. Carefully fold the stiff egg white mixture into the prepared cocoa mixture.

Pour the prepared batter onto a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 15 minutes.

However, the baking time may vary depending on the type of oven.

When the dough is already baked (which you can easily check by sticking a skewer into the dough), remove it from the oven and roll it up in a damp tea towel to form a roll.

Once the dough has cooled, roll it out again.

Whip the cream and add coconut or vanilla sugar to taste (whichever you like).

Brush the dough with coconut cream and then roll into a log. The top of the roll can be brushed with the remaining cream and sprinkled with coconut, or decorated according to your imagination (chocolate blackberries, fruit...).

Gluten-free chocolate roulade

Chocolate lovers can prepare a delicious chocolate roulade in a similar way.

The procedure for making the dough remains unchanged: whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until foamy, stir in the cocoa and finally lightly fold in the egg white snow.

The dough can be baked at 180 degrees for about 15 minutes.

However, instead of coconut cream and coconut filling, you can fill the roll with chocolate cream.

A popular and especially quick solution is the Parisian whipped cream, which is very easy to prepare according to the instructions.

Another option is to prepare the chocolate cream over steam. For the cream you will need:

• 2 eggs
• 50 g of granulated sugar
• 50 g of cooking chocolate
• 150 g butter

Put all the ingredients in a saucepan: that is, the eggs, the sugar and the broken chocolate. Place the saucepan with the ingredients in a larger pot of water and bring it to the boil, creating a 'water bath'.

Cook all the ingredients, stirring constantly, until a thick cream forms. Then turn off the heat and let the cream cool.

Beat about 150 g of softened butter, which you then whisk into the cooled cocoa mixture.

This will make a fluffy chocolate cream, which you fill the baked dough with and then roll into a roulade.

You can also spread the cream over the top of the roll to make it more supple and bring the flavours together. You can also decorate the top of the cake as you like to please your taste buds as well as your eye.
