Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

75g toasted flaked almonds
4 egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp cornflour
1 tsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
75g finely ground hazelnuts
200 ml whipped cream
5 tsp Bailey's Irish Cream
1 Tbsp cocoa powder
50g dark or semi-sweet chocolate
30ml whipping cream

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 200C (400F). Line a 15in x 7in Swiss roll tin with baking paper, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with toasted flaked almonds to well cover pan. 2. Whisk egg whites until stiff, then whisk in sugar 1/4 cup at a time, followed by cornflour and lemon juice, whisk until meringue is thick and glossy. Finally fold in finely ground hazelnuts until just combined. 3. Spread the meringue mixture over the almonds and cook at the top of the oven for 20 minutes until crisp and lightly golden. Remove from oven and cover the surface with baking paper and a damp cloth and leave to cool. 4. Whip 200ml cream to stiff peaks, add Bailey's and whip to combine. Spoon whipped cream mixture over meringue to within 1cm of all edges. Sieve and sprinkle cocoa powder evenly over the whipped cream mixture. With the meringue placed long side towards you, and using the paper to assist you, roll up the meringue like a jelly-roll to form a long log shape, enclosing filling. Place roulade on platter, seam side down. Refrigerate at least 2 hour and up to 6 hours. 5. To make a chocolate sauce, melt chocolate and 30ml cream in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Serve roulade chilled, sliced, with the chocolate sauce.
