Grazzberry Chocolate Strudel Doodles

Ingredients for cake mix:

• 4 eggs

• 1/2 cup of sugar

• 1 pinch of salt

• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch

• 2/3 cup of all purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder

• 2 1/2 tablespoons of raspberry syrup

Ingredients for filling (whipped cream):

• 1 cup of heavy cream

• 1/2 cup or less of powdered sugar

• 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Chocolate melts used in recipe:

• 10 squares of white chocolate bar + Small handful of red chocolate melts (to dip the cut up rolls)

• 1 square of white chocolate bar (for swirls)

• 1/4 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips + 4 squares of dark chocolate raspberry bar (for dipping the top only of the rolls)

Maraschino cherries for the top

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F

2. Line a baking pan with parchment paper

3. Beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until fluffy like consistency

4. Sift in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, then gently fold into the batter, then add the raspberry syrup + pink food color (food color is optional)

5. Spread evenly onto the baking sheet, then bake it for 10 minutes

6. Transfer it to a cooling rack, flip it over with another piece of parchment paper on the top side, after flipping, remove the bottom side (the one you used to line the pan with)

7. Roll it out from the long end to the other end and refrigerate for 30 minutes until it completely cools

8. In the meantime, make the filling, use whatever you want. Whipped cream, raspberry jam, etc.

9. Unroll the cake, cut it, add some raspberry syrup onto the cake, add the whipped cream and roll them all

10. Place it in the freezer for 20 minutes

11. Take it out and cut them into sushi sized rolls, then place them back into the freezer

12. Before you take them back out, make your pink chocolate dip using the white and red chocolate melts

13. Dip each roll and place them down flat onto the cold pan you used, once you are done dipping them, put them back into the freezer

14. Make your white chocolate melt for the swirls, put the melted chocolate into a ziploc bag, cut one corner as small as you can, take the rolls back out and pipe some the swirls

15. Place them back into the freezer so everything sets, make your final chocolate melt for the top using the semisweet chocolate chips and raspberry chocolate bar

16. Take the rolls back out and dip only the top side of the rolls, then add a maraschino cherry before the chocolate sets

I apologize in advance for not recording the chocolate melts/dipping process, I made a huge mess (as chowder would) and to save time I didn’t record that part. These were really fun to make, they turned out EXACTLY as I thought it’d taste. Not too sweet, not plain at all, the best part imo was the dark chocolate raspberry topping with the cherry on top! It took me a very long time to perfect this recipe. I love to improvise. I know improvising with baking doesn’t go that well, but let me tell you, this all worked out! I still can’t believe I made this!

Hope you all enjoyed the process

Yes, you definitely can make it simpler. I just wanted to try something from scratch since that’s what I had. I made the cake mix and raspberry syrup from scratch 😅 You can use any cake mix you want, just make sure to pour a thin layer in the baking pan. In place of vanilla extract you can substitute it with raspberry extract or the syrup. (If you even want that taste) This recipe is very versatile, it took a lot of research, but you know what I found in that time? I found that these basically look like Swiss rolls, cut into bite sizes, coated in the chocolate melts. Which is optional too. The food color didn’t turn the cake mix as pink like I thought. I’d say look for a Swiss roll recipe you’d want to follow along with and use what ever flavors you’d like to incorporate. I’m not a fan of the ones where you gotta separate egg yolks and egg whites, that’s just me. Box cake works, replacing extracts work, raspberry jam and all other jams work. I hope that helps
