Our traditional Christmas log is usually made with French buttercream and a “Joconde” biscuit.

This year, I want to show you how to make a more modern Christmas log. A chocolate mousse Christmas log.

The cake will be done with hazelnut / pecan nuts cake. A chocolate mousse and a “cremeux” chocolate insert.

Cover by a chocolate “miroir”.

I’ll give you the recipe to prepare the “pastillages” - snow flakes. It needs to be done just at the last minute.

For the finish of this log, it is important that the log has remained in the freezer for a few hours, and then you can pour over the mirror chocolate and finish the decoration.

So everything will be prepared during the cooking class, typical chocolate mirror but the last step will be done at your home.

This is one of my most technical class. I will accept only “advance pastry chef”. No more than 2 people at the time.

This is not possible to combine with something else.

Every step, all together, will need at least 3hrs.

It is also necessary that you have your own mold. Easy to find on Amazon.com. You will need it for the cooking class.
