Doesn't every family celebrate the holidays with a Western theme night?  🤠🤣Complete with rodeo games, Western movies and authentic cowboy meals - we fully embraced the theme.

So when we decided to make a giant Swiss Roll to round out our chuck wagon style feast, we renamed our epic dessert creation - A Rodeo Roll!

I have to give credit to my daughter in law for the inspiration for this dessert.  It was her idea to make homemade Swiss rolls.  I suggested turning it into one giant roll instead of tackling individual rolls and she suggested adding graham crackers and chocolate and to turn it into a s'mores roll.  This is what we came up with...

Giant S'mores Swiss Roll
3/4 cup  flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1/4 cup ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped

For Filling:
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
2 Tablespoons vegetable shortening, room temperature
8 ounces marshmallow fluff
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted (more as needed)
1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
2 Tablespoons chopped chocolate

For Glaze:
4 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon salted butter, cut into cubes

Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Sprinkle over the top of mixture and fold in with a rubber scraper.

Pour batter into a greased, parchment lined baking sheet. 
Bake 10-12 minutes at 350.

Mix in marshmallow fluff and powdered sugar.
Gently unroll cake.  Spread filling over cake.  ​

Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over filling. 
Sprinkle chocolate over filling.  
Picture
Picture
Reroll cake with filling inside.  
Melt together glaze ingredients.
Picture
Pour over cake. 
Picture
Sprinkle cake with extra graham crackers and chocolate.  

You can call it a S'mores Swiss Roll, a Rodeo Roll or a Little Amy Roll - but you need to try this.  It's amazing.  And if you're feeling your creative juices flowing - change up the fillings to make this roll unique.  

​Ciao!
