      Lime and kiwi cream roll.

      Yes, according to the recipe I followed the sponge cake should have been green, and I even added green coloring that I had, but I got sponge cake color 😖.

      It is a kiwi and lime zest sponge cake, filled with Mascarpone cheese cream mixed with kiwi coulis and lime juice, and sprinkled with powdered sugar, pistachio powder and lime zest.

      The taste and textures are good, but I would have liked it to be as green as in the photo of the recipe I followed that I have attached on the side as well.

      Obviously I am a total amateur, hehehehe

        Qué bien que te uniste al #GreenChallenge, Jorge! El rollo de crema de lima y kiwi se ve increíble, y la combinación de sabores debe ser deliciosa. Me encanta cómo has trabajado con el bizcocho de kiwi y la crema de mascarpone, ¡seguro que el resultado fue exquisito! Además, es genial que hayas experimentado con el colorante, aunque el color bizcocho también tiene su encanto. ¡Gracias por compartirlo con nosotros!

          Honestly, this roll looks beautiful just the way it is!
          Even if the sponge didn’t turn out neon green like in the recipe photo (I think it’s AI photography), the swirl with that mascarpone–kiwi–lime filling looks super inviting. The pistachio powder and zest on top add just the right touch of color and freshness, and I can imagine the balance between the tangy fruit and the creamy filling is spot on.

          And hey… sometimes the “imperfect” version ends up being the tastier one. For an amateur, you’ve pulled off a dessert that looks elegant, homemade, and full of personality. I’d happily have a slice (or two). ☺️

            How angry I am about these poorly explained or simply wrong recipes 🤬. With the ingredients listed… it is simply impossible to get a green like the one in the photo. I don’t think you did anything wrong zoo the problem seems to be with the recipe

            Jorge, ¡qué alegría tenerte en el #GreenChallenge! 🌿 Y qué delicia de rollo: visualmente invita, y cuando se lee… ¡atrapa! Lima, kiwi, mascarpone… una sinfonía cítrica y cremosa que ya dan ganas de replicar.

            Sobre el color: tu sinceridad suma, y mucho. Porque esto también es aprender: incluso cuando el verde no aparece como esperábamos -aunque tenemos dudas sobre si la receta guía en esa dirección😜-, se cuela en la frescura de los sabores, en la textura húmeda del bizcocho, en ese topping de pistacho que remata con chispa.
            Y algo más: tu presentación tiene alma de brunch elegante con flores de fondo y luz natural… ✨¡Gran trabajo!💚
