First step to make your Christmas log recipe:prepare the biscuit by mixing 5 egg yolks with 100g of sugar. Gradually add 100 g of flour then the beaten egg whites, gently lifting the preparation. Spread the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes at 200°C. Let the biscuit cool on a damp cloth. Then prepare the filling by mixing 250 g of chestnut cream and 100 g of softened butter. Spread three quarters of the cream on the biscuit, and roll it tightly. Decorate it with the rest of the cream and small Christmas decorations. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Fancy a Yule log a little lighter and fruitier, to end your holiday meal on a fresh note? Opt for this fruit Yule log recipe. The preparation of the rolled biscuit remains the same as for the chestnut Yule log recipe. Simply garnish your log with a red fruit jam. To add a little crunch, sprinkle the filling with a few pistachios or crushed almonds, or why not a few chocolate chips, before rolling the biscuit.
Another idea to try:the frozen Yule log recipe. Buy two one-liter tubs of ice cream with flavors of your choice (e.g., vanilla and chocolate). Line a cake tin with a sheet of parchment paper. Fill the bottom of the mold with the first ice cream, pack well then make a second layer with the other ice cream and smooth the surface well. Leave to set in the freezer for at least an hour before unmolding your frozen log. You can now decorate it with an Italian meringue. Use a blowtorch to brown it on the surface then add some small Christmas decorations or small 14143″>candies. Reserve in the freezer until dessert. Really child's play!
