Tips and tricks on the christmas yule log with chocolate butter cream with the thermomix

13 tips and tricks about the thermomix recipe

• Use good quality chocolate to obtain an intense and rich flavor in your buttercream.
  
• Melt the chocolate gently, either in a double boiler or at low temperature in the Thermomix, making sure not to burn it.
  
• Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly before incorporating it into the buttercream to prevent it from melting or separating.
  
• Add a little vanilla extract or instant coffee to the buttercream to add an extra fragrant note that pairs perfectly with chocolate.
  
• To make your yule log lighter, you can gently fold in beaten egg whites into your buttercream before spreading it on the sponge cake.
  
• If you prefer a softer texture for your sponge cake, replace some of the flour with almond powder or use a mixture of half flour and half cornstarch.
  
• Once you have spread the cream on the sponge cake, roll it gently but firmly using the parchment paper to obtain a beautiful log shape.
  
• For a more realistic visual effect, use a fork or a knife to create streaks on the surface of your log before decorating it.
  
• You can add pieces of roasted hazelnuts or almonds on top of the log to add crunchiness and contrast with the chocolate buttercream.
  
• Before serving, decorate your log with some final touches such as chocolate shavings, fresh red fruits, or lightly dust it with powdered sugar.
  
• You can use brown sugar to give a hint of speculoos flavor to the sponge cake.
