Ingredients:

• 5 egg whites
• 5 egg yolks
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups of milk
• 1/2 cup ground nuts
• 1/2 cup plain flour
• 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup of butter
• 3.5 oz of granulated sugar
• 1 pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons of starch
• 3 teaspoons of coffee
• 3.5 oz of 70% dark chocolate
• 0.7 oz of cocoa butter

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Add a pinch of salt and 1/3 cup of powdered sugar to the egg whites in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
• Sprinkle in the remaining 3.5 oz of granulated sugar and beat until the mixture is thick and glossy.
• Sift the flour over the egg mixture and add the ground nuts. Gently fold the mixture with a whisk until combined.
• Spread the mixture evenly onto two baking trays lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and let cool briefly. Then, remove the cakes from the tray and let cool completely on a wire rack.
• Heat 1 1/2 cups of milk in a saucepan. Add 3.5 oz of granulated sugar and stir until dissolved.
• Whisk the remaining 1/2 cup of milk in a separate bowl with the egg yolks and cornstarch until smooth.
• When the milk is almost boiling, pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan and stir until it thickens.
• Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cooled yolk pudding until creamy. Add the instant coffee and gradually beat the softened butter in small cubes.
• Cut the sponge cakes in half lengthwise. Spread the cream evenly over each cake and roll tightly.
• Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the fridge overnight.
• The next day, melt the chocolate and cocoa butter in a double boiler.
• Cut the cake rolls into equal-sized pieces and dip the ends in the melted chocolate.
• Let the chocolate harden before serving. Enjoy!

It looks complicated, but the result is fantastic. Don’t be afraid of trying to bake this dessert!
