Quick ‘n easy Chocolate Yule Log recipe

Try our quick ‘n easy Chocolate Yule Log recipe for dessert at your Christmas lunch this year.
Preparation time: 10 minutes and 30 minutes refrigeration
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Serves: 6

Ingredients:
One cup thickened cream
400g Dark Cooking Chocolate, chopped
500g Double Choc Sponge Roll
Icing sugar

Method:

  1. Place cream and chocolate into a small saucepan and stir over low heat for about 5 minutes, until chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate mixture has thickened to a spreadable consistency.
  2. Cut one end of the sponge roll at an angle and reserve. Place larger sponge roll onto a serving platter. Spread some chocolate mixture over the roll and, using a fork, rough the surface to represent tree bark.
  3. Place the smaller piece of sponge roll at the side of the log to represent a cut branch. Cover with remaining chocolate mixture. Dust with icing sugar.
