This is a twist on a traditional recipe: the cream isn't just a butter and dessicated coconut mix, but a more healthier, tastier version. We ate this often as a child as it doesn't require any baking, and quite cheap but delicious at the same time.
Rum&Coconut Cream Roulade
For the roulade (for approx 30cm)
500 g grounded biscuit -I use plain household biscuits in Hungary so if you make it from digestive just cut back a little on the sugar
320 ml milk
20 g butter-melted but cooled to room tempeature
3 tbsp dark rum
3-4 tbps cocoa powder
100 g icing sugar
For the cream
250 g coconut cream (strain the excess juice from the cream)
80 g icing sugar
20 g ground almond
100 g dessicated coconut
3 tbsp dark rum - optional: if you make for adults for the weekend:)
plus some extra dessicated coconut to roll the roulade in
Put all ingredients for the roulade in a bowl and mix it together until you get a slightly sticky dough. Cover it in cling film and put it into the fridge for 30-50 minutes to rest.
In the meantime you can prepare the filling. Mix all ingredients with a spoon, and place it to the fridge as well.
When the dough is rested, place it on a big piece of baking sheet and roll it to a rectangle shape. It should be thick enough roll without breakage, but if you leave it too thick (like me) you won't have that nice roulade effect.
So roll it to 4-5 mm thick and spread the cream on top. With the help of the baking sheet roll it tightly and cover the roulade with dessicated coconut. Cover it and leave it to rest for at least an hour in the fridge, then it is ready:)
If you don't eat it at one go, keep it in the fridge...
