If you’re a fan of Yule logs and pumpkin rolls, taste my Swedish specialty made from hazelnut meringue. People are in awe every time I bring it somewhere.

Average Rating: 5

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. + standing Bake: 20 min. + cooling
YIELD: 12 servings.

Ingredients

  • 6 large egg whites
  • 2/3 cup finely ground hazelnuts
  • 6 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1-1/3 cups sugar

  • FILLING:
  • 1-1/3 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  • 1. Let egg whites stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine nuts and pudding mix. Line a 15x10-in. baking pan with parchment paper.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 350°. Beat egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating until stiff glossy peaks form. Fold in nut mixture.
  • 3. Pipe meringue in long strips or spread over prepared pan until entire pan is covered. Bake until set and dry, about 20 minutes. Cool completely. Cover meringue with parchment paper; place another baking pan on top. Flip the pans. Remove top pan; carefully peel parchment paper from meringue.
  • 4. Beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar and vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form. Spread cream over meringue and top with oranges; roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side and peeling paper away while rolling.
  • 5. Microwave chocolate on high until melted, stirring occasionally. Drizzle melted chocolate over meringue roll.
