Central Foods launches Strawberry and Prosecco Meringue Roulade

21st AN Central Foods N I VERSARY launches Strawberry and Prosecco Meringue Roulade

Frozen food distributor Central Foods has unveiled a stunning new meringue roulade that’s perfect for summer menus

The Menuserve Strawberry and Prosecco Meringue Roulade provides fast-food operators with a delicious easy-to-serve dessert option for their customers – just defrost, slice and serve!

Featuring a very classic British combination of strawberries and cream, the hand-rolled roulade is made of pink strawberry flavoured meringue, which is filled with fresh whipped dairy cream flavoured with real Prosecco, and a home-made strawberry compôte.

The Menuserve Strawberry and Prosecco Meringue Roulade is finished with an eye-catching, velvety dusting of dried raspberry pieces to create a superb sweet treat that’s suitable for vegetarians and gluten-free customers too.

Gordon Lauder, MD of Central Foods, said: “Our range of Menuserve meringue roulades is very popular and I am excited that we are launching a traditional British flavour combination with our new Strawberry and Prosecco Meringue Roulade.

“The launch has come just in time for operators to add the new roulade to summer menus to take advantage of the summer months. This is also good news for operators who have one eye on their Christmas menus, as we feel sure that the Menuserve Strawberry and Prosecco Meringue Roulade’s festive red topping will also make it a Yuletide favourite.”

The new flavour joins a range of meringue roulades offered by Central Foods to food service operators, including Black Forest, Banoffee, Cappuccino, Raspberry & Hazelnut, Raspberry & White Chocolate, and Lemon.

The ‘thaw and serve’ meringue roulade provides up to ten portions, each of which can be popped into a box for takeaway or plated and served at a dine-in venue – taking advantage of the current increased demand for sweet treats.

Each case of Menuserve Strawberry and Prosecco Meringue Roulades contains two roulades. Like the other flavours in the range, this new roulade also happens to be gluten-free and suitable for vegetarians and coeliacs. Once defrosted, portions stay fresh in the fridge for two days but we don’t anticipate they will hang around for long!
