Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the *chocolate cookies* with *bananas* and *milk*. Mix thoroughly until you have a homogenous dough.

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle about *5 millimeters* thick (*0.2 inches*).

Step 2

Make the Cream and Add Fruit

In a separate bowl, mix together the *cream cheese* and *powdered sugar* until smooth and creamy.

Spread the cream evenly over the rolled-out dough. *Add your choice of fruits and berries*. Here, we're using *mango* and *strawberries*.

Step 3

Roll and Decorate

Carefully roll the base into a roll, ensuring it's tight and compact. Melt the *chocolate* and drizzle it over the roll. *Sprinkle* with the nuts of your choice, such as hazelnuts.

Place the roll in the refrigerator for about *3 minutes* to allow the chocolate to set. After that, your delicious roll is ready to be served and enjoyed!

Servings

🌟 **Serve it chilled**: This chocolate roll is best served cold, straight from the fridge, ensuring the chocolate maintains its lovely crunch. Slice it meticulously and place each piece on a vibrant plate to make it irresistible.

🧁 **Pair it wisely**: Accompany your chocolate roll with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a heavenly combo. The warmth of the bananas blends perfectly with the cold, creamy scoop, making each bite a delightful surprise.

🍹 **Add a splash**: This dessert works wonderfully with a refreshing drink. Try coupling it with a tangy mango smoothie for a tropical touch, or a simple iced coffee for the ultimate café vibe at home.

🎉 **Party Time!**: Turn this into a center-stage dessert at your next gathering. Decorate with extra fruits around the plate, bringing a rainbow of colors and flavors to your table. It's sure to be the star of the event!

Variations

🌱 **Gluten-Free Version**: Swap the chocolate biscuits with gluten-free ones to avoid any dietary restrictions. Ensure your other ingredients, like chocolate and any decorative elements, are completely gluten-free too!

🌿 **Vegan Twist**: Replace the cottage cheese with vegan cream cheese, and opt for plant-based chocolate to make this treat vegan-friendly. Bananas already provide natural sweetness, making this an easy adaptation.
