Creative Yule log recipes from TikTok
Yule logs are a classic Christmas dessert and can be total showstoppers. Made famous by French bakeries in the 19th century, where they’re called bûche de Nöel, Yule logs are spongy rolled cakes with a sweet filling, often decorated like a charming woodland log with other lovely embellishments. If you’re looking for a delicious dessert that doubles as a delightful centerpiece, here are five creative Yule log recipes.
Taking a long flight home for the holidays? Here are some hacks to make your journey bearable.
1. Woodland plant-based Yule log
This recipe puts the “log” in Yule log. Begin by whisking coconut cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, cacao powder and diluted peanut butter in a bowl. Next, form the base of the Yule log, using a piping bag to spread a layer of the mix on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Stack Oreos along the base to create the log’s shape. Then cover them with the rest of the mousse. Spread the mousse around using a fork to give the cake a woodsy aesthetic before placing it in the fridge to solidify. Finally, top off the Yule log with grated chocolate and edible flowers for a magical woodland finish.
This simple pastry dish will be your go-to all holiday season:
