🍓💚 CUT INTO THIS ROLL… AND LOOK AT THOSE LAYERS!

Soft vanilla sponge, silky pistachio cream, fresh strawberries, and a light white-chocolate finish. ✨

🍓 PISTACHIO STRAWBERRY CREAM ROLL

Pretty enough for a celebration… easy enough for a weekend bake. 🤍

🛒 INGREDIENTS

VANILLA SPONGE
• 4 large eggs
• ½ cup sugar
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp vanilla
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp melted butter

PISTACHIO CREAM
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ⅓ cup mascarpone
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 3 tbsp pistachio paste
• ½ tsp vanilla

STRAWBERRY LAYER
• 1½ cups fresh strawberries, finely sliced
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp lemon juice

FINISH
• 80g white chocolate, melted
• Chopped pistachios
• Fresh strawberries
• Powdered sugar

👩‍🍳 HOW TO MAKE IT

1️⃣ Whip the eggs and sugar for 5–7 minutes until very pale, thick, and fluffy.

2️⃣ Gently fold in the flour and salt. Add vanilla and melted butter without knocking out too much air.

3️⃣ Spread the batter into a lined 10×15-inch baking pan.

4️⃣ Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 10–12 minutes, just until the sponge springs back when touched.

5️⃣ While still warm, turn the sponge onto a clean towel dusted lightly with powdered sugar. Peel away the parchment and roll it up with the towel. Let it cool completely.

6️⃣ Whip cream, mascarpone, powdered sugar, pistachio paste, and vanilla until thick and silky.

7️⃣ Toss the sliced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let them sit for 10 minutes, then gently drain any excess juice.

8️⃣ Unroll the cooled sponge. Spread the pistachio cream evenly, leaving a small border, then scatter the strawberries over it.

9️⃣ Roll tightly from one short side. Chill for 1 hour, then drizzle with white chocolate and finish with chopped pistachios, fresh strawberries, and powdered sugar.

💚 THE LITTLE SECRET:
Rolling the sponge while it’s warm keeps it flexible — so you get those beautiful clean spirals without cracking.

🍓 PISTACHIO + STRAWBERRY = UNDERRATED PERFECTION.
