Our Ingredients:

  • A batch of chocolate sponge cake

For the Filling:

Pat-a-Pompe Mousse

  • 100g egg yolks
  • 100g sugar
  • 40ml water
  • 500g whipped cream
  • 350g melted dark chocolate

In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they start to whiten. In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water, and heat until it reaches a light syrup consistency. Slowly pour the syrup into the mixing bowl with the yolks, whisking continuously. Incorporate the whipped cream gently, being careful not to deflate it, and add the melted chocolate, stirring gently.

For the Finishing Touch:

  • Chocolate Anglaise Cream
  • 200g milk
  • 200g cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 chocolate bar
  • 125g sugar
  • ? tsp salt

Directions

In a separate bowl, beat half of the sugar with the egg yolks and vanilla until light and frothy. In a saucepan, heat the milk, cream, and the remaining sugar. Once warm but not boiling, slowly pour the milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking vigorously until slightly thickened. Add the melted chocolate, previously melted using a bain-marie, and mix until smooth. If the mixture doesn't thicken, you can add a little cornflour.

Bake the chocolate sponge cake in a greased baking pan. Make sure it's not too thick when spreading the batter, around 1 inch in height.

Once baked, place a kitchen towel on top and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, spread the filling evenly across the cake using a spatula. Roll it into a log shape and refrigerate to set.

After it has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and cover it with the chocolate cream. Create grooves and lines resembling the texture of a log.

With each slice, indulge in the deliciousness of this Yule Log and savor the festive flavors that will truly make your Christmas celebrations extraordinary.
