Tiramisu, Christmas or festive dessert gourmet log

An ultra -gourmet tiramisu with a beautiful association of creamy cream textures, crunchy chocolate and soft spoon cookie. Why not for Christmas?

Whether for a nice presentation of your classic tiramisu, or why not offered in Christmas logs, I suggest you prepare your tiramisu in a cake pan and unmold it on a dish for service. Sprinkled with cocoa, it is of the most beautiful effect, and very gourmet in addition.

A classic of pastry as a Christmas log?

Faced with ever more inventive flavors and creations associations, the great classics of pastry are always a pleasure. So I start to decline in the log of iconic desserts (sometimes exceeding French borders as today. After the Christmas log like lemon meringue, this tiramisu and very soon a black forest.

A gelatin cake

I admit that I have a lot of trouble with gelatin and find that there are far too much and too systematically in pastry. Unfortunately not many substitutes. The agar agar does not have the same texture, a less round and less creamy rendering. So for this recipe, to unmold before the service, I opted for a recipe rich in mascarpone, and with tight snow whites with a little sugar.

What log for Christmas?

Here tiramisu, it offers you several other logs on the blog, like meringue lemon pie, ice with chestnuts, pretty raspberry combination and pistachio or the legendary Mogador Log of 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 Christmas log: where this custom comes from, why a cake in the shape of a tree trunk … it’s interesting.
