My Go-To Tips
Rolling up the cake while it’s still a bit warm stops cracks from forming. Gently folding the whipped cream keeps the filling soft as a cloud. That pricy white chocolate? It’s worth every penny. Always chill before slicing for the sharpest swirls.

Common Questions
- → How long should I let it set in the fridge?
Make sure it chills at least 4 hours. If you want it really set, keep it in overnight.
- → What's the deal with layering the gelatin gently?
Pouring slow stops the jello from breaking into the creamy layer, so your layers stay neat and pretty.
- → Could I swap in another citrus flavor?
Absolutely! Lemon or lime jello and juice switch things up for a twist.
- → How do I stop the jello from dripping down the sides?
Let the creamy center chill really well, and pour the jello topping slow and easy.
- → Is it alright to prep this in advance?
It’s fine in the fridge for up to three days. Just wait on any garnishes until you serve.
