Greetings Daring Baker Type People (as Lisa would say).
Welcome to the December 2008 Daring Bakers’ Challenge! We, Hilda of Saffron and Blueberry and Marion of Il en Faut Peu Pour Etre Heureux, are your hosts this month.

And the Challenge this month is…

A French Yule Log!

SO, what is a French Yule Log you say and how is it different from the Yule Log we made last December if you were a member then?

In France you can buy two kinds of Yule log, either the Genoise and Buttercream type that we made last December, or what is more commonly purchased which is a frozen Yule Log very reminiscent of an ice cream cake, only often it’s not made of ice cream but rather frozen mousse of some sort. In French this is called an entremets which is sometimes loosely translated in English as simply a cream dessert. This also means that this recipe is not holiday-specific, it is also just a scrumptious dessert recipe.
