This is another recipe that I made long time ago, and I got it from the book “The Essential Book of Desserts.” I first made this recipe when I started to test some recipes, and when I didn’t even had a recipe blog. But I don’t know why I never made it again. But a while back, I saw some beautiful strawberries in the supermarket and I remembered this recipe so I decided that I had to make it. Yummy, yummy, yummy, absolutely delicious, why did I take so long to make it again. The recipe is delicious, the roll is super, super soft, and the best is that it’s super easy and quick to do. The cool thing is that you can also use any fruit and jam you want, it depends on your taste, and next time I’ll test with dulce de leche … yummy… just imagine…OMG. And this time I throw a challenge, want to see if I find someone who will not like this recipe … haha…it is veeeeery good.

Hi Pamela, what’s granulated sugar? Is it the same as raw sugar? Thanks. Clystia
@Clystia, Yes Clystia, it can be the raw sugar.
