Gellért roll

by | Nov 15, 2024 | Desserts

Named after the famous Gellért Hotel in Budapest, Gellért roll combines simple ingredients to create something truly special. Just like the elegance of the historic Gellért Hotel, this dessert is all about timeless flavors that come together beautifully.

What makes the Gellért Roll stand out is the perfect mix of tastes and textures. The creamy chocolate filling, the slight tartness of sour cherries, and the crunch of caramelized hazelnuts all wrapped up in a soft sponge cake make every bite a treat. It’s rich and chocolaty without being too sweet – just the right balance to keep everyone coming back for more.

The best part? It might look fancy, but it’s not hard to make. With a little time and care, you can whip up this dessert and impress your family and friends. Plus, you don’t need any special tools – the decoration can even be done with a simple fork.

So, if you’re looking for a dessert that’s just as fun to make as it is to eat, give the Gellért Roll a try. It’s perfect for autumn or any time you’re in the mood for something deliciously chocolaty with a bit of Hungarian flair.

Hungarian cottage cheese

This is what Hungarian túró looks like

You often ask me what kind of cottage cheese (or curd cheese or farmer's cheese - call it what you want) I use in the recipes. In Hungary the store-bought cottage cheese is dry and crumbly as you can see in the picture. So if a recipe calls for túró, I mean this type. If you can't obtain túró, you can try to make your own from whole milk. Click on the link below.

Metric system vs cup

In Hungary metric units are in use, all the recipes on this website are based on this system, so a kitchen scale is necessary. Since I’m not familiar with cup as a measurement unit, I convert grams to cups by using an online converter. The values in brackets, therefore, are only approximate volumes, so, please, double-check them before you start cooking.
