A delicious Christmas dessert that the kids will love.
For the biscuit
4 eggs, separated
125g sugar
50g butter, melted
100g flour, sieved
25g cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the filling
150g Nutella
500ml cream, very cold
200g mascarpone, very cold
100g chopped hazelnuts
For the syrup
100g sugar
100ml water
Put a large mixing bowl in a freezer or fridge. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 5.
Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until pale. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract and mix. Add the flour and combine well. Whip the egg whites until stiff and add to the mixture. Spread over a lined rectangular baking tray and bake for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the syrup. Add the sugar and water to a saucepan and bring to a boil. When the biscuit is cooked, spread the syrup evenly on it and let cool completely.
Beat the cream, mascarpone and Nutella in the cold mixing bowl. Spread about ⅔ of the filling and scatter the chopped hazelnuts. Roll the log and spread the rest of the filling all over. Decorate with more chopped hazelnuts and chocolate balls.
