The other finalists will be posted on the Ice Cream Journal this week and voting for the winner will begin on Thursday, with the winner receiving a one year’s supply of Turkey Hill Ice Cream. The other three finalists will all receive a one month supply of ice cream. Congrats to them, and enjoy the recipes!
You’ve heard of jelly rolls and pumpkin rolls. Welcome to the Chocolate Peppermint Stick Roll. Trust us (because we’ve tasted it), It puts all of those other rolls to shame. This chilly holiday recipe was submitted by Patti S. of Schenectady, NY.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 eggs, separated
1 tablespoons cold water
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Approximately 1/3 cup confectioners sugar
Turkey Hill Peppermint Stick Limited Edition Premium Ice Cream
Hot fudge sauce (optional topping)
Whipped cream (optional topping)
DIRECTIONS
1. Grease and flour a 15×10 jelly roll pan.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
4. In a large mixing bowl combine egg whites and water .Beat until frothy. Gradually add ½ cup sugar until stiff and glossy.
5. In a small bowl beat egg yolks until thickened, about 3 minutes. Gradually add 1/3 cup sugar. Add vanilla.
6. Fold egg yolk mixture into egg white mixture, then fold in dry ingredients until blended. Do not overmix!
7. Spread batter evenly over jelly roll pan.
8. Bake 12-15 minutes until center springs back when lightly touched.
9. Sprinkle a clean dish towel with confectioners sugar. Turn cake onto towel.
10. While cake is hot, roll up the cake and towel together and let stand for 1-2 minutes. Unroll and allow steam to escape. Reroll and allow to cool.
11. When cooled, open cake and fill with Turkey Hill Peppermint Stick Limited Edition Premium Ice Cream (to within 1/2 inch of edges). Ice cream should be soft enough to spread. Reroll and place in freezer.
12. When ready to serve, let stand out of freezer briefly prior to cutting your slices.
13. Serve with hot fudge sauce and whipped cream.

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
On the 1st day of Ice Cream, Turkey Hill gave to me, Some Ice Cream for my Christmas Tree!
I sounds wonderful, but so much work!
I’m drooling. I’m going to have to try this out!! I’m sure I’ll find a few guinea pigs in my house to taste test!
Sounds really yummy! I believe the main reason for having cake so to have something to go with the ice cream. This recipe wraps the ice cream right inside!
This looks yummy!! I will have to try it out. I’m sure my family will be happy to taste test for me!
I’m getting fat just looking at that, Yummy!
it works for me.
also thankyou for the Turkey Hill calendar.its great.
Well, I’ve vote for my choice but it was so hard as they were all great. Of course, anything that has TH in it has to be delicious.
My name is Tanya Edwards and I wanted to share my weight loss story with you. I.m no medical guru or anything like that. I.m just a mom who figured out a system that works better than all the famous diets you tried (you know, the ones that didn.t work?). Hopefully my story can inspire you to try my method and lose some weight!
See how it can change your life like it did mine. Come and read the REAL story.

Oh Yeah
I’ve never had much luck with cake rolls, but I’m gonna give this one a try. Bet it’s good with the eggnog ice cream,too. That will give me a chance to make two of them!
not much on rolled cakes though I wil have to try this one sonds scrumpcious
Dessert is never too much work… It just makes it sweeter
yup the peppemint roll left me rolling in memories of being a kid again and reveling in the fun of licking ice cream from a cone around and around and around and…
Oh looks yummy but I truly am horrible with cake rolls. I made a bundt cake and squeezed TH peppermint icecream at the top with a pastry bag, then sliced that section. Tasted good I’m told.
On the second day of Ice Cream Turkey Hill gave to me 2 christmas green ice cream scoopers and some ice cream for my christmas tree.
Lol!
Wow, this looks so good and I can’t wait to try it. It would be great to serve at a holiday party.
Looks delicious, but then anything with Turkey Hill is great. Linda
that looks wonderful and yummy!
All the recipes sound delicious but this one is my favorite! Nothing better than mint & chocolate! I’ve made the roll cakes before so will definitely try this one with the TH ice cream,,,, Yummmmm
This looks really yummy, I am going to make this next week for the office Christmas Party…
I’m just sorry there are only 12 days of ice cream when there are more days in the month. Can’t wait to try these receipes.
Say, will the puzzle melt?
Love cake roll, bet it would be great with any of the Turkey Hill ice creams.
YUM YUM!
This sounds delicious and looks great and will try this one for the holidays.
This is a great way to serve ice cream. You can have your cake and eat it too. It’s going to be a tough decision to vote for only one of these four finalists. My choice will be the one that makes my mouth water the most.
Sounds wonderful.
After reading the recipe I must admit it shoulod haqve been voted #1. Cant wait to make it.

I really enjoycake rolls and especially with turkey hill in it.
Looks like you saved the best for last. What a great idea – cake and ice cream!!

This is going to be tough…all entries are creative and took time in the kitchen!!
the chocolate roll looks absolutely delicious. wonder if that should replace cookies for santa!
What a masterpiece!
I am definately going to try the chocolate peppermint roll for Christmas desert. My grandchildren are going to love it. Thank you Turkey Hill !

I’m kind of an eggnog girl myself, but my sister loved this – and I certainly wouldn’t turn down ANYTHING with Turkey Hill involved!
I’m not certain if my original attempt went through, but I was just saying that the Dynamid Duos sound scrumptious and I can’t waitto try them.
My family loves ice cream cakes and this sounds great. Cant’t wait to make this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait till my daughter gets home for the holidays! We’re the Candy Cane ‘n Chocolate Girls.

Just read through all the recipes. All sound absoluetly wonderful. Only problem, which one to make first.
The Chocolate Peppermint Stick Roll looks yummy. I think I’ll make it for a Christmas party.

I love peppermint ice cream, I also love chocolate cake. I have to wait for the snow storm to clear out, then I plan on heading to the store to pick up a jelly roll pan. I plan on making this for our holdiays. Thanks for such a great idea.
Mmmmmm!!! This recipe looks delicious and I bet it tastes even better.
I gotta “roll” with this one. It sounds like a desert Santa would make an extra trip for.
Yum Yum, Chocolate and Peppermint, my 2 favorites rolled into one!
