Nestlé Dessert® Tiramisu-Chocolate Yule Log

Ingredients

8 servings

• 150 g NESTLÉ DESSERT Dark chocolate
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened raw powder – 100% cocoa NESTLE DESSERT
• 15 ladyfingers
• 25 cl cold strong coffee
• 250 g mascarpone
• 2 sheets of gelatin
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons liquid cream
• 2 eggs

Steps

1. 1

   Melt the chocolate for 2 minutes in the microwave at 500W and spread it very thinly on a rectangular surface 3 times the size of your yule log mold base. Let it set in the fridge for 2 hours.

2. 2

   In a bowl of cold water, rehydrate the gelatin sheets. Separate the egg whites from the yolks, and whip the egg whites until stiff.

3. 3

   Beat the yolks, sugar, and mascarpone. Heat the heavy cream. When the cream is hot, add the previously squeezed gelatin sheets and stir until smooth. Add the heavy cream to the mascarpone mixture.

4. 4

   Pour 1/3 of the mascarpone cream into the yule log mold. Add half of the coffee-soaked ladyfingers on top, pour the second 1/3 of the mascarpone mixture, then a rectangle of the crunchy chocolate. Add the coffee-soaked ladyfingers again, the rest of the mascarpone mixture, and finish with a third of the crunchy chocolate. Let set in the fridge for at least 6 hours.

5. 5

   Unmold the yule log and sprinkle with cocoa powder. Decorate with chocolate shavings.
