A Swiss roll is a popular dessert item, typically consisting of a sponge cake rolled around a sweet filling. This Diabetic Friendly Chocolate Swiss Roll has all the goodness of a traditional Swiss roll, but has been modified to fit into a diabetic-friendly meal plan. The sponge cake is flavored with vanilla and almond and filled with a creamy frosting made from non-dairy creamer, nonfat milk, and flavorings. Cocoa powder is added to give the roll its signature chocolate flavor. This recipe is perfect for those looking to indulge in a sweet treat without the guilt.
