Texture Is Everything
A successful jellied fruit candy cheese roll depends on texture harmony.
The fruit layer should be:
- Flexible, not brittle
- Firm enough to hold shape
- Smooth and evenly spread
The cheese layer should be:
- Soft and spreadable
- Not runny
- Lightly sweet
When rolled together, the layers should cling without sliding apart.
The Art of Rolling Candy
Rolling is what transforms simple layers into an elegant candy.
The process requires:
- Even thickness
- Gentle pressure
- Patience
Once rolled, the candy log is chilled to set, making slicing clean and precise. Each slice reveals a beautiful spiral that feels almost too pretty to eat.
