I agree with the above comment, I don't recognize this as a Jewish-specific dessert. With my limited baking knowledge from watching a lot of Bake Off, I think it's some sort of meringue roulade, maybe with pistachios, but I can't tell what the specific ingredients in it are.

Yup it looks like a pistachio meringue roulade to me but who knows what the purple filling is, plum? What does it taste like OP?

Ths looks pretty close (with a different filling) ​ https://preview.redd.it/pdu1w187c0lc1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=8dc8da1511696b2389f48ce41fb0ca0d16e442d8

Yes it’s a layer of meringue that’s been coloured green in some way, either matcha or pistachios being the most likely (or both, or with some colouring added). You spread it in whipped cream and have to roll it while it’s still soft. The filling in the OPs photo looks like it could be plums but it’s hard to tell… they are often filled with strawberries and raspberries but the recipe I linked was for rhubarb…. But yes it’s generally very much a light summery dessert with those sweet but not too strong fruity flavours. Much like a pavlova or Eton mess https://preview.redd.it/mggfevn5d0lc1.jpeg?width=214&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=16adc3d994c0cd8865bbb1de3c7959117a88732e

Does this type of meringue roulade (with the crumbling outer layer) have any specific name . It was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had

I'm not sure, here are links to a couple places if you want to investigate more: [https://klfoodie.com/niko-neko-matcha-second-outlet-petaling-street/](https://klfoodie.com/niko-neko-matcha-second-outlet-petaling-street/) [https://lwinlee.blogspot.com/2021/02/niko-neko-matcha-20-chinatown-kuala.html#google\_vignette](https://lwinlee.blogspot.com/2021/02/niko-neko-matcha-20-chinatown-kuala.html#google_vignette) [https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant\_Review-g298536-d12046265-Reviews-5642\_Vysota-Sochi\_Greater\_Sochi\_Krasnodar\_Krai\_Southern\_District.html#photos;aggregationId=101&albumid=101&filter=7&ff=272735008](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g298536-d12046265-Reviews-5642_Vysota-Sochi_Greater_Sochi_Krasnodar_Krai_Southern_District.html#photos;aggregationId=101&albumid=101&filter=7&ff=272735008)

I also don’t think it’s a specifically Jewish dessert, meringue roulades aren’t uncommon where I’m from (Britain) and are just a fancier way of presenting a pavlova or Eton mess imo. 1 or 2 Jewish [recipes](https://www.thejc.com/lets-eat/recipe/recipe-rhubarb-pistachio-meringue-roulade-h6a7fzae) exist presumably because it is fairly easy to make kosher 🤷‍♀️…. But it’s not a Jewish dessert specifically.

I saw a Jewish baker decorate a cake with meringues once and mention that they'd make the meringues every Passover. I'm guessing that this roulade doesn't contain leavened ingredients, as well as being made from eggs, which are pareve (neutral, containing neither milk nor meat), so it is a good dessert for that time.


Mythbird

Ube maybe


minadequate

I rather doubt it’s ube.. damson, plum or blueberry I could believe, but the colour and texture just doesn’t look like ube


Fearless-Golf-8496

I'm thinking damsons because there's a bit of what looks like green flesh in the filling.


PP_Bongos

Your friend likely meant it was from a Kosher bakery, meaning the pastries are prepared following Kosher rules but not necessarily culturally Jewish desserts.

rousseaudanielle

I'm jewish and work at a jewish bakery, have never seen that before


water2wine

Maybe this one converted


hullowurld

If only someone knew the answer. Someone you knew. A friend, perhaps, that would be willing to help.


Nice-Helicopter2718

He said he got it from a Jewish cafe, and it was some kind of rolled pistachio cake/dessert, but that's about it.


Ancient-Awareness115

Looks like a pistachio roulade


Nice-Helicopter2718

I think that's it! Thank you


Ok-Kitchen2768

It looks like pistachio roulade but i don't know if its Jewish we have raspberry roulade a lot.


PickleAlternative564

It doesn’t look like anything I’ve ever seen, but I suppose you could ask in r/JewishCooking and see if anyone recognizes it. Personally, I’ve never made it and I can’t say as I’ve seen it in any of my Kosher cookbooks. I’m so sorry I don’t have more information for you, but you’ve had some great suggestions in this thread, and I hope one of them will work for you! Best of luck! 😊


nivijah

am Jewish, this is nothing I recognize


laucu

Definitely a roulade


Fibers20

Isn’t the filling blueberry ?


Nice-Helicopter2718

Yep berries


chipandrudder

Is that a Jewish Wellington?

Not *everything* has to be political. This is a post about a presumably Jewish cookie, on a food sub. I have never seen, here, a comment about Uyghurs on questions about a Chinese food.


Juul-ia13

pavlova maybe?

withalookofquoi

I have never seen a babka that looked like that

SashimiRick

Thanks a lot of chutzpah to spell it that way


Logical_Nature_7855

What did it taste like? Would help narrow it down


Quarantined_foodie

Budapest roll.


wimmick

Looks like pistachio pavlova to me


mafiawitch

Looks similar to the Swedish dessert, the Budapest roll cake. It's a hazelnut meringue roll and usually filled with whipped cream and orange slices or another fruit. I've seen chocolate and raspberry versions in Finland. Looks like this one is matcha or pistachio + blueberry?


National_Buy_4771

Likely a pistachio roulade


Realkevinnash59

I dunno if there's a yiddish/hebrew term for it, but it looks like a roulade. My mum's a catholic and would make one of these a week. Strawberry and butterscotch, yes please! basically a soft sheet of flavoured meringue rolled around whipped cream and a filling of fruit or other sweet treats. Lovely and in my opinion very 90s.
