This Finnish Pancake roll filled with a whipped cream and fresh fruit and/or jam filling is absolutely the most delicious thing. My brother living in Finland told me how popular it is there, and I had to create a scrumptious gluten-free version we could enjoy at home. A new favorite, and so easy to whip together! Enjoy!
A delicious slice of homemade GF Finnish Pancake Roll. Yum!

Finnish Pancake Roll
Makes 1 large pancake roll, to be cut into slices of the size of your choice.
To prepare the pancake:
Whisk together:
3 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla sugar (or 1 tsp vanilla extract added with wet ingredients)
1/2 tsp salt
Add and whisk in until smooth:
1 3/4 cups warm milk (not hot)
2 eggs
1 Tbsp melted butter
Pour onto a parchment-lined cooking/baking pan (I use the size I typically use for baking cookies). Bake at 400 F for ~20 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven. Slice around the edges with a butter knife to loosen, then slide parchment onto a cooling rack to let the pancake fully cool.
Pancake batter, ready for the oven. I don't worry about spreading properly or evening things out. I just hope the pan I chose to use isn't warped!
Fresh from the oven and a nice golden brown.
To prepare cream filling:
Whip until stiff:
~1 - 1 1/4 cup (225 - 300 ml) heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Add and beat until smooth and stiff:
100 g (3.5 oz) cream cheese (I recommend the cream cheese in a tub vs the block, which may not mix in as nicely)
OR
100 g (3.5 oz) mascarpone cheese
The nice whipped cream and cream cheese or mascarpone filling.
To assemble the roll:
Flip the fully cooled pancake over onto a clean piece of parchment paper. Spread the cream filling evenly over the pancake.
Topped with the whipped cream filling, ready for the fruit!
Top with a variety of fruits and loose jams or coulis. Some suggestions:
diced strawberries
blueberries
raspberries
blackberry-raspberry coulis (Similar to raspberry coulis, but I usually mash them a bit while cooking and let them simmer an extra 5-10 minutes to help the blackberries break down)
peach jam
Topped with blueberries and a blackberry-raspberry coulis sauce
Topped with a homemade peach jam and diced strawberries (mixed with 1 tsp sugar)
Roll up your pancake roll. If desired, you can sprinkle the top with a bit of powdered sugar before serving. Slice with a serrated knife and serve with extra coulis and/or diced fruit on the side, if desired. Enjoy!
