This was my Mom's recipe and she made it with all three fillings. Absolutely wonderful but a little bit of work. If you are careful this can be a beautiful-looking dish but my Mom only cared how it tasted. I have yet to accomplish removing the roll from the wax paper without splitting it. Like my Mom, as long as it tastes great I don't worry about it. I don't know where my head was when I posted the prep time. This one takes well over an hour to prep after all of the cooling times are added in.
