Coffee Rolls
Another quick and easy sweet you can prepare with readily available ingredients and which looks impressive too! These coffee rolls recipe is what I have learnt from my aunt, who used to make it often and I loved having these at her place. She used to make these in a miniature size, but I decided to make it like swiss rolls and these are definitely like a no-bake instant version of swiss rolls!
I have flavoured these with instant coffee powder, but for chocolate lovers, you can always reduce the coffee powder and add some cocoa powder for a nice chocolate flavour. Did you know that a tad bit of coffee added to any chocolate dish actually enhances the chocolate flavour. So yeah, do not skip the coffee powder completely in this recipe.
You can keep the filling simple and make a basic buttercream by mixing together room temperature butter and powdered sugar, or you can make a Russian buttercream filling using condensed milk like I have shared. I have also tried this with a filling of instant rabdi for an Indian flavour and that tasted great too with the outer biscuit cover in chocolate.
