Honey, Ricotta & Orange Rolled Log
Discover this light and fruity rolled log, perfect for ending a meal gently. The combination of honey, ricotta and orange brings a touch of originality and freshness. This log is easy to make and will impress your guests. The dough is soft and rolled around a creamy ricotta filling, enhanced with honey and orange zest. You can prepare it in advance to save time. The recipe is also adaptable: you can add nuts or dried fruit for more crunch. The rolled log is a classic revisited here with Mediterranean flavors. Ricotta brings lightness while honey softens the acidity of the orange. For optimal results, use eggs at room temperature and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks. The baking must be monitored to obtain a soft and elastic sponge. Once rolled, the log can be kept in the refrigerator until serving. Served chilled, this log is a refined dessert that pleases everyone. Don't hesitate to decorate it with candied orange slices and a drizzle of honey for an elegant presentation.
