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.

🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture whitens and doubles in volume.

  2. 2

    Gently fold in the sifted flour with the baking powder, then add the orange zest.

  3. 3

    Spread the batter evenly on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden and flexible.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, prepare the filling: whisk the ricotta with the honey. Whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks, then gently fold into the ricotta. Add the remaining orange zest.

  5. 5

    Turn the warm sponge out onto a damp cloth. Spread the ricotta filling evenly over the entire surface, leaving a small border.

  6. 6

    Gently roll the sponge on itself using the cloth to form a tight log. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

  7. 7

    When ready to serve, decorate the log with candied orange slices and a drizzle of honey. Serve chilled.

Tips & Tricks
  • For perfect rolling, don't wait for the sponge to cool completely. Roll it slightly while it's still warm, then unroll it to add the filling. This will prevent it from cracking.
