How to make

STEP 1

Heat oven to 375°F. Line 15x10x1-inch baking pan with parchment or waxed paper; grease paper. Set aside.
STEP 2

Arrange clean towel on counter; sprinkle generously with powdered sugar. Set aside.
STEP 3

Place egg whites into medium bowl; beat at high speed until foamy. Continue beating, gradually adding 1/4 cup granulated sugar, until glossy and stiff peaks form. Set aside.
STEP 4

Combine egg yolks, remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar, melted butter, baking powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt in another bowl. Beat until well mixed. Add flour; mix well. Gently fold beaten egg white mixture into egg yolk mixture until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
STEP 5

Bake 10-12 minutes or until center springs back when lightly touched. Immediately run knife around edges of cake to loosen. Invert hot cake onto prepared towel; remove parchment paper. Dust cake with powdered sugar. Tightly roll up hot cake in towel, starting with 10-inch side. Cool completely.
STEP 6

Meanwhile, combine ricotta, mascarpone and cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, whipping cream, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 1/8 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Beat until well mixed. Add amaretto; beat until well mixed.
STEP 7

Unroll cooled cake; remove towel. Spread cake evenly with 1 1/2 cups ricotta frosting. Roll up cake. Transfer to serving platter. Frost cake roll with remaining ricotta frosting. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips and chopped pistachios over cake. Refrigerate until serving.

Tip #1

Use 3 bowls when separating eggs. Crack an egg into 1 bowl, then separate yolk from white in the additional bowls. That way if the yolk breaks you will only ruin 1 egg and not ones you have already separated.
