Chocolate Mascarpone Bûche de Noël
With Any-Kind-of-Fruit Filling!
Here it is friends, it’s time for my yearly Bûche de Noël recipe!
Few desserts embody the French holiday spirit quite like a Bûche de Noël! This classic Chocolate Yule Log is a staple at French Christmas tables, and I must admit, one of my personal favorites too! Every year, I look forward to the moment I can bake one and enjoy a slice, whether it’s shared with friends and family or savored in quiet moments in my kitchen.
For this Christmas season, I wanted to offer you an easy, reliable Bûche recipe that doesn’t sacrifice flavor, but is still light and approachable enough to make at home. You can customize this version with your favorite fruits, making it a personal creation that reflects your tastes - or whatever is in season wherever you live (Hi, Australian friends!)
