Express new york rolls with speculoos – quick and budget-friendly recipe

Ingredients

Rolls:

• 1 can of croissant dough
• 1 egg
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar (to taste)

Filling:

• 100 ml heavy cream (30% fat)
• 50 g mascarpone
• 20 g speculoos spread

Decoration:

• 2 Tbsp speculoos spread
• 1 speculoos cookie (crumbled)
• 2 speculoos cookies (whole)

Materials

• 1 piping bag
• 1 electric whisk
• 1 spatula
• 2 oven safe cookie cutters (3.9 inches diameter)
• 1 gratin dish
• parchment paper
• 1 brush
• chopsticks

Preparation

• Start by unrolling the croissant dough onto a cutting board, then fold it in half.
  Cut 3 strips from the dough. Then cut the third strip in half.
• Roll one strip up to form a roll. Add half a strip to the end. Do the same with the remaining strips of dough.
  
• Place the two rolls on a baking tray covered with parchment paper. Brush beaten egg all around the rolls and sprinkle with brown sugar on top.
• Place greased rings around the rolls, then place a large gratin dish on top.
  
• Bake the rolls in an oven preheated to 390°F (200°C) for 25 minutes. Then remove from the oven, carefully remove the gratin dish and leave to cool.
• Place the cream, mascarpone, beaters and bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes. Then pour the well-chilled ingredients and the speculoos spread into the chilled bowl.
  
• Beat everything with an electric mixer until a thick whipped cream forms. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag (or freezer bag).
• Insert a chopstick vertically into the roll in two places so that you can generously fill it using the piping bag. Smooth the top with a spoon. Do the same with the second roll.
  
• Decorate the tops of the rolls with speculoos spread, sprinkle with crumbled speculoos cookies and place a whole speculoos cookie on top.
• It's ready! Enjoy!
  

Observations

How to store the New York roll?
Store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. You can keep it for a maximum of 3 days. However, we recommend enjoying it the same day.

What can I use instead of speculoos whipped cream?
You can replace it with classic whipped cream or vanilla pastry cream, for example. Find our NY roll with pastry cream right here.

What can I use instead of speculoos cookies?
Feel free to adapt the recipe and replace them with your favorite cookies!

Can I make New York rolls with regular puff pastry?
Yes, you can, but the baking time will be longer. We recommend using croissant dough, or laminated yeasted dough. You can easily find it in the supermarket next to the puff pastry and shortcrust pastry. You can also ask your baker for some or make it at home.

Can you make more New York rolls with a can of croissant dough?
If you have 4 rings, you can simply cut the croissant dough roll into 4 pieces and use the rolls that are already formed. Keep an eye on the baking time, as it will be shorter.
