This an easy and fun dessert to put together. I have made it as per the directions above and I have also made it with Strawberry Shortcake Rolls and strawberry pudding as well as the Carrot Cake Rolls with cheesecake pudding. All were very good
Would be delicious and easy for a diabetic but I can’t find Swiss Rolls that are sugar free. I’ve seen large sugar free cake rolls so might try that using thin slices. I’d layer slices with pudding so no waste.
Very easy and delicious. A mistake turned into a huge success. Only had one chocolate pudding, mixed a batch of banana cream pudding over the chocolate pudding, It was amazing and not too sweet or chocolatety. Put cool whip on top and then raspberries
Came upon this recipe and made it for a family gathering. It was so good and light and went really fast. It’s requested now at every family meal. It was hard to cut the Swiss rolls. They do make a mess but it’s worth it. I tried to attach a picture but couldn’t.
I made this on a whim, as it's not my type of dessert...at least not the type I'm known to make. When I served it, my son was surprised and bit disappointed that it wasn't a typical dessert that would come from my kitchen. You know, many ingredients, rich, hours of preparation, etc. That being said, I would rate it 3.5-4.0 stars. I would only make this again if I were taking it to a picnic, or a church potluck. I could see that some tinkering with the flavors could enhance the experience. For example using peppermint whipped topping with chocolate pudding. Or pistachio or butterscotch pudding instead of chocolate and flavor the whipping topping in a complimentary flavor. Vanilla pudding with cherry flavored whipped topping...the possibilities are endless. But not for me, in reality, I doubt if I would make this again. I like so many other desserts better.
The presentation on this cake looks so good!
Can I make this and refrigerate overnight for the next day's serving?
This came out beautifully. Looked just like the photo. I thought the kids would love it and they did. But to my surprise, the grown ups ate nearly the whole thing! It was great. Had lots of requests for repeats.
Easy to make and a beautiful presentation! It was good but not a standout for us. If you love Swiss rolls then you will enjoy the dessert.
My husband and daughter made this for a dessert last night. They said it was easy to put together and liked that it was good for the little effort it took. It was an enjoyable dessert. I think it would be great for warmer weather.
