Homemade mini rolls
I was on a quest to make mini rolls, and finally cracked it. Sort of.
Don’t get me wrong - these are no way matched to the soft, pillowy Cadbury originals, but they’ll do.
Recipe, makes 2 rolls;
THE CAKE
1 tbsp smooth almond butter
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 Tbsp sugar
Splash hot water
1 tbsp self raising flour
1 egg
80g dark chocolate
THE CREAM
4 tbsp thick yogurt or cream cheese
1 tbsp syrup or flavdrops
Method
Mix the almond butter, cocoa powder, sugar and a splash of hot water to form a paste
Add your flour and a pinch of salt and mix well until you’ve got a doughy paste
Add the egg and mix well until it’s thick
Add another splash of hot water and mix until you get a slime cake batter
Grease a plate well with butter
Add the batter to the plate and spread out in a rectangular/ square shape
Put in the microwave for 1 minute and 30 secs
Peel the cake batter off the plate and put onto a piece of foil/ parchment that is bigger than it
Roll it over into a long sausage, using the foil/ parchment as a guide
Leave to cool in this shape for 2-3 mins
Meanwhile mix your thick yogurt and syrup
Roll back out flat, then spread the yogurt mix Thinly over the cake
Roll the cake back up tightly, using the parchment/ foil as a guide again
Cut the ends off with a serrated knife, then cut the roll in half
Set aside in the fridge whilst you melt your chocolate
Carefully roll the mini rolls in chocolate, then put on a lined tray to set for Atleast 30 mins.
Notes + Variations:
Coat these in any chocolate you like. I always use dark, because it’s my favourite, but milk or white will work.
