- Heat cream until it simmers. Pour over chopped chocolate (200 g), let sit 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Stir in butter for a shiny finish.
- Place the chilled log on a rack or serving platter. Pour the lukewarm glaze over and smooth with a spatula. Refrigerate at least 2 hours to set.
7️⃣ 🎨 Decorate
- Just before serving, sprinkle generously with dark and white chocolate shavings. Slice and enjoy!
💡 Tips & Variations
- Make ahead: Prepare the sponge and fillings a day in advance. Chill overnight, then glaze and decorate the next day.
- Ingredient swap: Use cream cheese instead of mascarpone for a lighter vanilla cream.
- Sponge test: The sponge is ready when it springs back gently under your finger after 10 minutes.
- Neat glaze: Pour the glaze when it’s lukewarm (not hot) for even coverage without melting the mousse.
📦 Storage
- Refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Best enjoyed chilled or slightly softened at room temp.
Decadent, elegant, and full of chocolatey layers — this yule log is the perfect holiday dessert centerpiece. 🍫🎄
