Chocolate Christmas Logs
The Best Chocolate Yule Log for Sophisticated Tables
Maison Pierre Marcolini’s Christmas logs are reinterpretations of the work of two-time world pastry champion and master of trompe-l’oeil. Marcolini has prepared three yule log creations, each with their own flavour notes and sponge. One of them won first prize at the 1995 World Cup. This famous cocoa creation is a veritable taste adventure. Cocoa Joconde biscuit and almond praline introduce two crunchy mouth feels. Orange cream and dark chocolate mousse balance the recipe beautifully. The icing wood effect is achieved with dark chocolate ingredients and cream ganache. Pierre Marcolini has titled this work of art “L'Envol”.
Hazelnut Heaven
Maison Pierre Marcolini’s second yule creation is smothered in Madagascar vanilla cream and mousse. Madagascar vanilla extract has higher levels of vanillin. This gives it an inherent sweetness and dense flavour profile, allowing the chocolatier to use less sugar. This way, other flavours can take over the starring role. A unique hazelnut-lime praline works beautifully with its hazelnut Joconde biscuit. Finally, artisans use dark chocolate frosting to achieve wood-like decoration for the chocolate sponge.
A Cake for Lovers of Fresh and Exotic Notes
The third creation is the Coco Yuzu Shiso yule log, a fruity and airy interpretation inspired by Asian flavours and enhanced with Art Deco decorative motifs. Cashew and shiso biscuit brings a delicate aromatic base. A light coconut mousse adds creaminess, while the yuzu cream offers a bright, citrusy lift. A crunchy black sesame praline completes the experience with texture and contrast.
Designed to be shared, this festive dessert serves up to six guests and brings a modern, vibrant twist to the Christmas table.
All Maison Pierre Marcolini yule logs are prepared with R.D. Congo cocoa beans, Piedmont hazelnuts and light Joconde biscuit. These creations are limited and precious, much like the decorative objects that inspired them.
