Description

A delightful dessert featuring a light sponge roll filled with a creamy raspberry filling and topped with pistachios.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 100g granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 75g all-purpose flour
  • 25g pistachio flour (finely ground pistachios)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Green food coloring (optional)
  • 200ml heavy cream
  • 50g powdered sugar
  • 100g fresh raspberries
  • 2 tbsp raspberry jam
  • 50g chopped pistachios (for topping)
  • Additional fresh raspberries for decoration
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Baking paper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet (about 30×40 cm) with baking paper.

  2. In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, whisking until you achieve stiff peaks.

  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with vanilla extract until pale. Gently fold the egg yolks into the egg whites, followed by the flour, pistachio flour, and salt. Add a drop of green food coloring if desired, folding gently to maintain fluffiness.

  4. Spread the batter evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the sponge is springy to touch. Once baked, turn the sponge onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the baking paper.

  5. While the sponge is still warm, roll it up with the towel inside. Let it cool completely.

  6. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold in the raspberry jam and half of the fresh raspberries.

  7. Unroll the cooled sponge and spread the cream mixture evenly over it. Scatter the remaining raspberries on top. Reroll the sponge tightly without the towel.

  8. Spread a thin layer of cream on the top of the roll, then sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Decorate with fresh raspberries.

  9. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to set.

Notes

  • Ensure the eggs are at room temperature to achieve better volume when whisking.
  • Be gentle when folding ingredients to maintain the airiness of the sponge.
  • The roll can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge, making it easier to slice neatly.
  • Feel free to experiment with different fruits or jams for the filling.
