Gourmet Tiramisu-style log, at Christmas or as a festive dessert

Whether for a pretty presentation of your classic tiramisu, or why not offered as a Christmas log, I suggest you prepare your tiramisu in a cake mold and turn it out onto a dish for service. Sprinkled with cocoa, it has the most beautiful effect, and very delicious too.

A pastry classic like a Christmas log?

Faced with ever more inventive flavor combinations and creations, the great classics of pastry are always a pleasure. So I’m starting to offer iconic desserts in log form (sometimes going a little beyond French borders like today. After the Christmas log in the lemon meringue tart style, this tiramisu and very soon a black forest.

A cake without gelatin

I admit that I have a lot of trouble with gelatin and find that there is too much of it and too systematically in pastries. Not many substitutes unfortunately. Agar agar does not have the same texture, a less round and less creamy finish. So for this recipe, to unmold before serving, I opted for a recipe rich in mascarpone, and with stiff egg whites with a little sugar.

Which log for Christmas?

Here Tiramisu, the offers you several other logs on the blog, lemon meringue tart style, iced with chestnuts, pretty raspberry and pistachio combination or the legendary Mogador log from Pierre Hermé milk chocolate and passion fruit.

And as you know that I like to dissect our culinary traditions, I tell you everything about the origin and history of the Yule log: where this custom comes from, why a cake in the shape of a tree trunk… It’s interesting.
