Delicious Cream Bread Rolls

Step 1: Prepare the Whipping Cream Filling

• Action: In a mixing bowl, add the following ingredients:

  • ½ Cup Whipping Cream – Use fresh, chilled whipping cream for best results.
  • 1½ tablespoons Powdered Sugar – Adjust the sweetness to taste, but this will give a balanced sweetness.
  • ¼ teaspoon Vanilla Essence – This adds a subtle, fragrant flavor to the cream.

• Instructions:

  • Beat the mixture using an electric mixer or hand whisk at medium speed. Start slow to avoid splattering and then gradually increase speed.
  • Beat the mixture until it forms medium peaks, which means the cream should hold its shape but still be soft and slightly floppy when the whisk is removed.
  • Once the cream reaches the desired consistency, add 1 drop of red food coloring. This will give a lovely pink hue to your cream, making it visually appealing.
  • Mix gently to ensure the food coloring is well distributed and doesn’t cause the cream to deflate.

Step 2: Prepare the Bread

• Action: Take 4 slices of white or brown bread, depending on your preference.

• Instructions:

  • Trim the edges of the bread with a sharp knife or kitchen scissors. This removes the crust, leaving only the soft, fluffy part of the bread.
  • Flatten the bread slightly by pressing down gently with your hands or a rolling pin. This will make it easier to roll and absorb the milk without tearing.

Step 3: Soak the Bread

• Action: In a separate shallow bowl, combine:

  • 1 Cup Milk – Use full-fat milk for a richer texture, or any milk of your choice.
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar – This will sweeten the milk slightly, helping to balance the flavors.

• Instructions:

  • Stir the mixture until the sugar has completely dissolved into the milk.
  • Dip each slice of bread into the milk mixture briefly, ensuring that both sides are soaked. Be careful not to soak the bread for too long, as it may become too soggy. A quick dip, about 1-2 seconds on each side, is enough.
  • After dipping, gently press the bread to remove excess milk. This prevents the bread from becoming too wet and ensures it holds its shape when rolling.

Step 4: Fill and Roll the Bread

• Action: Take each soaked bread slice and place it flat on a clean surface like a cutting board or plate.

• Instructions:

  • Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the bread. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the cream evenly from edge to edge. Make sure the cream layer isn’t too thick, or it may spill out when you roll.
  • Roll the bread gently into a tight log shape, starting from one edge. Be careful not to press too hard, as the cream can spill out or the bread can tear.
  • Once the bread is rolled up, set it aside. Repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread.

Step 5: Coat and Garnish

• Action: On a flat plate, spread a layer of desiccated coconut.

• Instructions:

  • Roll each filled bread roll in the desiccated coconut, ensuring it’s evenly coated. The coconut adds texture and a lovely flavor contrast to the creamy filling.
  • Garnish with finely chopped almonds or other nuts (like pistachios or walnuts) for added crunch and visual appeal.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

• Action: Once all the rolls are coated with coconut, arrange them on a serving plate.

• Instructions:

  • You can serve them immediately as a fresh treat or refrigerate them for about 30 minutes for a chilled dessert. The cream will firm up slightly when chilled, making the rolls easier to handle and enhancing their texture.
  • Cut into smaller pieces (if desired) before serving for easier portioning.
