30 minutes

Chocolate-banana roll is a refined dessert combining airy biscuit, rich chocolate cream, and the gentle sweetness of bananas. It comes from European cuisine, where such rolls are valued for their softness and sophisticated taste. The fluffy dough made using the classic technique of whipping egg whites makes the cake particularly light, while the rich cream based on cocoa and vanilla essence gives the dessert a rich aroma. Bananas add natural sweetness and a pleasant fruity texture. This roll is perfect for special occasions or cozy family evenings, highlighting its elegance with a decoration of chocolate shavings or cocoa. It is best served chilled to ensure the cream has a silky consistency and the flavor fully unfolds.
