All The Chocolate Roulade Recipes You Will Ever Need
If you fancy having a go at making a Swiss roll or trying your hand at a roulade, you’ve come to the right place. This post contains all the chocolate roulade recipes you will ever need. And plenty more besides.
Chele’s laptop has most unfortunately decided it didn’t want to play recently, leaving her computer-less and unable to blog or do this month’s round-up. She apologises profusely and you get me instead.
When I heard roulades and Swiss rolls were the challenge for this month’s We Should Cocoa, my heart didn’t sing. It sank – I’ve not had much success with the rolling process so far. Luckily, many of you rose to the challenge and some even relished it.
It was the first experience many had of rolling sponges, so thank you to all who participated – 20 in total. Some stunning results were achieved and I am truly impressed. Chele and I seemed to have faired less well than most with mine being a complete disaster. However, I shall endeavour to put this behind me and get on with admiring the results.
Chocolate Roulade Recipes
You might expect that these chocolate rolls and roulade recipes to all be a chocolate sponge with cream or buttercream. But oh no, with the creativity I have come to expect now, there are many interesting interpretations of a roulade. You will not get bored checking these posts out.
Mocha Roulade For Coffee Lovers
For the coffee lovers Kate from The Gluten Free Alchemist has come up with this coffee-intense mocha roulade dessert – gluten free of course.
Boozy Chocolate Log
A chocolate log filled with an almost mousse like cream filling. Made with chocolate liqueur, the filling is absolutely gorgeous. This boozy chocolate log is from me at Tin and Thyme.
Multi Layered Chocolate And Raspberry Roulade
A first timer, Aida of Sniff & Snort got us off to a cracking start with this amazing multi layered roulade of dark chocolate, meringue, ganache, cream and raspberries – We Should Loco, or The Sound of Silence. I would have happily eaten each of these layers separately, I can barely imagine what eating a whole slice is like.
Hazelnut Meringue Roulade
Meringue was also used by Suelle of Mainly Baking, but this time as the main event. She made this perfectly rolled and dairy free Hazelnut Meringue Roulade with Chocolate Olive Oil Mouse Filling.
Chocolate Mint Arctic Roll
Something rather different from Kath of the Ordinary Cook. She’s used ice cream in a retro relive the 70s moment with her Chocolate and Mint Arctic Roll.
White Chocolate Banoffee Roulade
Uncharacteristically as she is not known for her sweet tooth, MangoCheeks of Allotment 2 Kitchen entered into the spirit of chocolateyness and made this lovely looking White Chocolate Banoffee Roulade using her own banoffee curd.
Malted Chocolate Banana Roulade
Carly of Tart to Heart also chose bananas as one of her flavourings, but with a more unusual one to accompany it. She made a well rolled and delicious sounding Malted Chocolate Banana Roulade.
Chocolate Rum And Raisin Roulade
Mel of Sharky Oven Gloves had me salivating at her mention of rum soaked raisins which was her star ingredient in Chocolate and Rum-Raisin Roulade.
Hazelnut And White Chocolate Roulade
White chocolate seems to have been a popular choice this month. Phil of As Strong As Soup has paired this up with hazelnuts in his perfectly rolled and delicious sounding Hazelnut and White Chocolate Roulade.
Black Forest Roulade
A different filling again from C of Cake, Crumbs and Cooking. She chose a classic pairing of cherries and chocolate in her Chocolate Roulade with Black Forest Buttercream and despite her worries produced a very good roll.
Tiger Swiss Roll
I was very taken with this striking Tiger Swiss Roll produced by Hannah of Corner Cottage Bakery. Her unique ingredient is orange curd. She also rolled it very well too.
White Chocolate Raspberry Meringue Roulade
White Chocolate and Raspberry Roulade came from Miss Cake Baker of What I Baked This Weekend giving us yet another flavour combination. Meringue, cream, raspberries and chocolate all rolled up in one delightful piece.
Chocolate Swiss Roll
Aveen of Baking Obsessively did another near perfect roll – really I’m beginning to get a complex! She used vanilla buttercream and raspberry jam in her Chocolate Swiss Roll.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Swiss Roll
Baking Addict of The More Than Occasional Baker has come up with another delectable filling. Her Chocolate Swiss Roll with Peanut Butter Filling was another successful roll and it was her first attempt too.
Marion’s Chocolate Roulade
And so to the last of our chocolate roulade recipes. Cutting it very fine indeed, The KitchenMaid did a good job of rolling her roulade. She even boasted it was easy! Rum soaked raspberries featured in Marion’s Chocolate Roulade – her sister’s recipe.

One looks better than the next. Wow!
Fantastic round up! And they all look so different!
All of these look amazing. Looking forward to the next challenge:)
sorry to hear about chele’s computer giving her grief – but am glad you were able to post the round up despite it as it fills me with admiration of all those wonderful roulades – am sorry I didn’t get to this one but it just wasn’t the month for roulades at chez GGG
These all look so good. Can’t believe I missed this challenge. It would have given me an excuse to make a roulade! Definitely joining in with the next one. x
Hey, what happened to my entry? I emailed it in weeks ago.:(
Excellent round up as always. Such impressive efforts this month. Looking forward to next month’s challenge.
I’m really pleased so many of you have enjoyed this display of imagination and technical skill. Thank you all for commenting. Thanks also for showing concern for Chele and her laptop difficulties, she should be back with us and blogging again soon.
They all look great! I was so scared the first time I tried to make a chocolate log but I managed to cover up the cracks with icing. What a great selection of rolled up cakes.
Roulades are great aren’t they. All the different plays on the theme look wonderful. I love the cold, cream centre….
My eyes are rolling with such a fabulous round-up. Certainly not the easiest of challenges but great to see so much variety, too. Great job!
Amazing efforts from everyone! I’m keen to see what the next challenge will be and join in myself! This is a definite addition to my growing number of favourite blogs. 🙂
a wonderful round up I love all!! What a pity about Chele computador, hope she can blogger soon! gloria
A gorgeous round-up of deliciousness!

Great round up! Love all the different flavours and takes on the brief! Big pat on the back to those who made roulades, they terrify me!
Now if someone would just give me a fork…..
Great round up! Now I have my Swiss roll tin I’m going to try s few of these recipes!
I am in awe of each and every one of these! I’ve never attempted a roulade; I am far too scared!
I just love roulades so I’m really excited to see so many diverse recipes for it!!
Great selection of recipes this month. I think we did pretty well. I could happily try all of them – not good for losing weight, though.
Wonderful round-up, they all look delicious.
I actually managed to make my roulade this month, but the blogging bit has yet to come!!
I wondered where Chele had got to – I hope her computer problems are resolved soon, I am missing her posts. Another wonderful round up with fab entries. I want to try every single one (as usual).
Wow, what a popular challenge! Great round up Choclette, it’s really interesting to see how different everyone’s roulades look.
Hope Chele’s computer is back up and running soon and look forward to seeing what you’re going to challenge us to next month!
Thank you for such a delicious cocoa roulades roundup!
What an absolutely stunning round up Choclette… am really sad I never made it in time 🙁 That said, like I said, am still going to make mine, when I’ve had a few days to recover… For now, I am going to bow down in awe to all you guys 🙂
These all look so yummy! I can’t wait to try my hand at one of these babies.
Amazing roulades, don’t know why I was giving you advice when you had all these peeps to go to lol!
What a nice round-up. I read your post but unfortunately it does not name the posts you are having trouble viewing. I’ll take steps to correct as soon as I know. So far yours is the only problem that has been reported. Have a great day. Blessings…Mary
Sorry to read about Chele’s computer, I hope whatever the problem is soon resolves itself and she is back in blogland. Thank you to YOU for hosting. You’ve doen a terrific job. I am real impressed with the creativity of the submissions – fantastic and sickly sweet!
Looking forward to next months challenge.
these look so wonderful! im so scared of making roulades.
I am very, very impressed! I was too much of a scaredy cat to try. Don’t they all and I mean all, look wonderful?
god, these all look totally AMAZING… I shamefully did not appear here as I ran out of time… (no excuse) and I couldn’t find a key ingredient (again no excuse) but it will be coming I promise … plus, you made a roulade for my challenge so i’m thinking of appropriating that for this!.. ha ha! xxx
It’s lovely to see all the entries! All different, but all totally gorgeous looking!
Didn’t we do well? A great effort from everyone. Even the roulades which didn’t roll succesfully sound delicious.
Wow! What a brilliant round-up! They all look absolutely delicious, will never leave me short of inspiration for future roll fillings and is kinda making me want a roulade/roll tasting menu for breakfast! Looking forward to June’s challenge!
