Rulada cu unt de arahide
Cred cu tarie ca a fi cofetar nu e tocmai jobul interesant care pare a fi de la distanta. Un cofetar ce lucreaza intr-o cofetarie sau restaurant nu apuca sa creeze in fiecare zi ceva nou. De cele mai multe ori trebuie sa lucrezi cu aceleasi retete si sa faci aceleasi deserturi iar si iar. Insa asta ma aduce la o alta idee pe care am mai formulat-o in trecut – cofetaria inseamna a stapani cateva retete de baza si cateva tehnici. O data ajuns la nivelul asta, treaba e cel putin un sfert terminata. Restul mai tine si de multa munca, putin talent si poate si putin noroc.
Reteta de azi e exact ce v-am explicat mai sus – cateva retete de baza pe care le-ati mai vazut la mine pe blog in trecut, insa combinate intr-o alta versiune. Blatul e un genoise des intalnit in cofetarie, crema e un mousse de unt de arahide iar glazura e un ganache imbogatit cu unt. Si obtii un desert onctuos, bogat, intens aromat, numai bun pentru vremea asta intunecata si racoroasa.

ENGLISH
Sometimes, when I don’t have the time or mood to create anything new, I go back to old recipes and combine them differently, use other flavors, alter a few bits here and there and end up with a whole new recipe and dessert just using dessert components that I’ve used in the past. I strongly believe that this happens quite often in a pastry chef’s life though! Afterall, even working in a restaurant or pastry shop, you don’t get to create new desserts, cakes or entremets every single day. Not only that you would have a menu in both cases, but creating is a time-consuming process and it’s not as easy as it looks. Instead, you get to perfect old recipes and sometimes reinterpret them. So the moment you reach a point where you have a few recipes that you master well and know a few techniques to perfection, you can consider yourself one quarter of the way there already. The rest is hard work, passion, a touch of talent and maybe a bit of luck.
This is what happened with this peanut butter Swiss roll. I wanted something sweet so I sat and thought about my old recipes and came up with this combination. Who doesn’t like peanut butter after all?! And chocolate?!! It’s a rich, filling dessert, rather earthy so I think it is quite nice for this time of the year. You’ve seen the component of this dessert on my blog though before though. The sponge is a basic chocolate genoise, the filling is a peanut butter mousse and the glaze is a ganache enriched with butter. Simple as that, but delicious and easy to make!

Roulades are so fun! This looks delicious! The peanut butter mousse sounds absolutely heavenly.
Thank you, Rachel!
Oh my god this swiss roll looks incredible! I have never tried a peanut butter swiss roll before.. definitely need to recreate the recipe as I am craving a slice so bad!
Thank you! It’s a simple recipe and easy to customize with different fillings.
This looks incredibly decadent, and your photos are gorgeous! Love that shiny ganache.
Thank you!
Sometimes it’s the combination of familiar ingredients, made into something new, that’s the best! I love this swiss roll–classic flavors, gorgeous presentation!
Thank you! That is very true!
This looks so good. I have never made a swiss roll, the closest I have come is when I made a roulade. I was always frightened of it cracking, but in roulade’s that’s a feature 🙂
The flavour combinations sound amazing.
Thank you, Angela! It’s one of my fav flavor combos.
What is the serving size of this recipe?
Deli, it’s such an old recipe that I really don’t remember the size of a portion – but you can calculate the ingredients then divide it by 8 or 10 which I think it’s the approximate number of servings for this roll and see for yourself the result. It may not be 100%accurate, but it should give you an idea.
I found your recipe on a whim searching for a peanut butter Swiss roll, just to see if that was out there and my husband made it recently. It was fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
