It is chocolate dessert time! It is finally Friday and why not celebrate with a great dessert to start the weekend off right?
This tasty chocolate roulade has chocolate and then more chocolate, whipped cream and sweet strawberries and the best part? It all comes together fast and easy.
Im too tired to start baking on a Friday night you might be thinking, but with this recipe you can whip up a great, homemade dessert in less then 30 minutes!
This chocolate roulade is a great example that you don’t have to slave all day in the kitchen to create a gorgeous and delicious dessert.
I got this recipe from my mom, this is one of her go to recipes for a fast and super tasty dessert that is a crowd pleaser.
If strawberries are not quite in season for you yet you can use 2 bananas instead, chocolate and banana is a great combination. Or why not cherries, that would also work great! What I like about this recipe is how versatile it is, use your favorite berry or fruit and make your own favorite combination.
Have a great Friday everyone, I will be enjoying mine with a big slice of this roulade.
Happy baking and enjoy!
