Chocolate roll with chocolate trees

Ingredients

• Biscuit:
• Eggs - 3 pcs.
• Sugar - 60 g
• Flour - 70 g
• Cocoa - 25 g
• Cream:
• Butter - 100 g
• Condensed milk - 80 g
• Cocoa - 20 g
• Almonds - 10 nuts (optional)
• Cognac - 1 tbsp.
• Decoration:
• Powdered sugar - 2 tsp
• Chocolate - 20 g

Directions

1. Separate whites from yolks. Beat egg whites with half the sugar until stiff peaks form. Beat the yolks with the remaining sugar into a cream. Gently combine whites with yolks. Sift flour with cocoa and mix in small portions into the egg mass.
2. Preheat oven to 180C. Cover a baking sheet with parchment, pour the dough evenly, about 0.5 cm thick. Bake 10-13 minutes.
3. Turn the finished biscuit onto a clean towel, remove the parchment from it and wrap it with a roll along with the towel. Cool down completely.
4. For cream. Whip room temperature butter until white. Continuing to beat, add condensed milk. Set aside 1 tbsp. white cream (for decoration). Now add cocoa, beat.
5. At the end, add a spoonful of cognac, beat again. Add chopped almonds, if desired, and stir.
6. Unfold the biscuit, spread with cream. Departing from the edges about 0.5 cm.
7. Roll up. Cover with the remaining cream. Sprinkle with powdered sugar using a strainer.
8. Decorate as desired (I have chocolate trees, my meager imagination was not enough for more) and put in the refrigerator for 1.5-2 hours.
9. Now you can cut and serve.
10. Enjoy your meal!!!
