Swiss roll Method

1. For the almond & coconut layer, using a hand mixer, mix the unsalted butter and natural sweetener until it becomes smooth. Once the butter softens and fluffs up, add the coconut cream, almond extract and coconuts, combine with a spatula until creamy.


2. Soak dates in half cup of hot water for 10 minutes. Blend pitted, pre-soaked dates with water into a creamy paste.


3. For the chocolate layer, add cocoa powder, coconut cream, whey protein powder, coconut and date paste into a bowl. Using your hands, combine all the ingredients and knead until they form a non-sticky easy to work dough. If needed, add more warm water little by little, the texture of the dough should resemble play dough.


4. Roll the dough into a ball. It should be easy to work with it, like with cookie dough.


5. On a flat surface, place baking paper. Use a rolling pin to spread the chocolate dough out evenly. Once the chocolate layer is done, add the almond filling on top. Once you have spread out both layers it is time to make a log.


6. Starting from the edge that is facing you, using the baking paper, starting rolling both layers into a roll.


7. Press well to form a log, cover with a plastic wrap and place into a freezer for about 30 minutes to set. Cut into slices and enjoy!
