Power yule log
This excellent Yule log recipe (or bûche de Noël if you will) yields a delicious, mildly sweet dessert roulade with a powerful dark chocolate taste and a crunchy twist – a perfect pièce de résistance for the Xmas dinner table or any other festive occasion. Decorated with a crispy mix made with milk chocolate, hazelnut praline and pailleté feuilletine, the sponge roulade in this recipe has a delicious bite to it, while the dark chocolate Chantilly in the centre brings out a powerful cocoa taste in it. The caramel and milk chocolate Chantilly on top adds the perfect finishing touch to this luscious Yule log and gives it precisely the right amount of sweetness.

Ingredients: Sponge
-
3.2 ozflour
-
1.2 ozCP
Preparation: Sponge
Mix in. Stir well and dry out for 2 minutes. Then pour the dough into a mixing bowl with a paddle.
Ingredients: Sponge
-
5.3 ozegg yolks
-
3.0 ozwhole egg(s)

Mix in the egg-egg yolks mixture bit by bit until it’s completely incorporated into the dough.
Ingredients: Sponge
-
7.8 ozegg white
-
3.7 ozgranulated sugar
Preparation: Sponge
Beat the egg whites and sugar until foamy. Add 1/3 of the foam to the dough to soften the texture. Then mix in the rest of the egg whites to obtain a light, fluffy mass.
Weigh 850 g of this dough to spread out onto a tray (40x60) lined with silicone paper. Bake for 12 minutes at 180°C (ventilated oven).
Weigh off 350 g of the crispy mix. Turn over the sponge and spread out the mix over the entire surface of the sponge. Do the same with 500 g of the Chantilly of Dark Power Chocolate. Starting from the top, gently roll the sponge towards you trying to avoid big air bubbles. Then tighten the roll before storing it into the freezer for at least one hour. Meanwhile whip the milk/caramel Chantilly and pipe on top with a teardrop-shaped nozzle. Finish with Callebaut® Crispearls™, dusted with gold powder IBC F006691.
