Snacks

We love rolled cakes for dessert at Ptitchef so much that we decided to revisit the recipe in an individual version :-) Flavored with strawberry and covered with colorful homemade icing, these little pink panthers will delight both children and adults. Perfect to enjoy at snack time with a glass of milk or a hot chocolate :-)

  • 4 eggs
  • 60 g sugar
  • salt
  • 1 tsp liquid vanilla
  • 100 g flour

  • 340 g icing sugar
  • 50 ml milk
  • pink food coloring
