CHOCOLATE YULE LOG
To make this chocolate yule log you will need two basic chocolate
truffle mixtures, one made with white chocolate and one made
using milk brown chocolate.
(Recipe for basic chocolate truffles is in this edition.)
Add chopped nuts to the milk brown mixture and pour out onto wax
paper or cellophane and allow to cool. When firm pour white
mixture over to which you have added dried coconut.
Allow the top layer of truffle mixture to set slightly.
When firm roll your yule log and allow to firm up in the freezer for
15 minutes

When your log has set nice and firm brush it with a thick coating of melted moulding / coating
chocolate. Because it is cold when you brush your chocolate on top it will set immediately and give
it a rough tree bark appearance. Spoon melted white chocolate down the centre allow for some to
run down the sides of your log.
Decorate with an assortment of glazed fruit and nuts as well as edible icing decorations.
The log can be served as one long piece or cut into smaller chunks.
