About

The flavour and nuttiness of this dessert is transformed by simply toasting the quinoa, which adds to the delicious coffee taste. Although the result looks very impressive, a roulade isn’t too difficult to make and can be done in advance, so delight your guests with this unusual glutenfree version of a classic cream roulade.
