Chocolate Swiss Rolls

These rolls are like cinnamon rolls but unfortunately I am not a massive fan of cinnamon. I'm a bit traumatised from doing the cinnamon challenge in my child hood. So I have to learn and adapt! The rolls are amazing once they come out of the oven, the gooey chocolate combined with the soft roll is to die for!

5. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and allow to rise for 1 hour.

6. For the filling, simply combine all of the ingredients together until it is smooth.

7. Once the dough has doubled in size, transfer to a lightly floured surface and use your fingers to shape the dough into a rectangle. (start to preheat the oven to 180C)

8. Grab a rolling pin and continue to roll the dough into a rectangle.

9. When you are satisfied with the length. Start applying the filling evenly onto the dough.

10. Roll the dough into a log and use two fingers to measure out the width of the rolls, cut it with a sharp knife.
