Preparation
Egg White Roll:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a baking tray with butter and line it with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the egg whites and lemon juice. Beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until firm peaks form.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tray and bake for 10 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the roll cool inside for 20 minutes.
- Lay out a clean kitchen towel, dusted with powdered sugar. Invert the roll onto the towel and let it cool completely.
Ovos Moles:
- In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar.
- Heat while stirring constantly with a whisk until the syrup reaches the soft thread stage (pearl point).
- Remove from heat and gradually add the egg yolks in a thin stream, whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
- Return the mixture to low heat, stirring until it thickens.
- Remove from heat and let it cool.
Assembling the Roll:
- Once the roll has cooled, spread a portion of the sweet egg cream over it and sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Using the towel, gently roll it up.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Remove the towel, place the roll on a serving platter, and cover with the remaining sweet egg cream.
- Dust with cinnamon and serve.
