How to cook
Set your temperature in your roasting oven to 180 degrees
Place the tin on the second set of runners down from the top and cook for 7-8 minutes
Dredge a clean tea towel laid flat with icing sugar and turn roulade out onto it.
Score a mark about 2cm from the long end, then roll up the roulade… carefully! Leave to cool.
Whisk the cream, brandy and icing sugar together.
When cool, unroll the roulade and spread the cream all over it
Re-roll and place on a serving dish; dust with a little more icing sugar.
Drizzle the top decoratively with the melted chocolate.
Dip holly leaves in the remainder of the chocolate and refrigerate to set.
These are lovely as decoration but not to eat!
Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
