The delicate Perce-Neige Yule Log at the Peninsula Paris by Anne Coruble 2023

Looking for the best and most beautiful Yule Logs of Paris 2023? The ones that will make your guests' eyes sparkle, or that will delight all gourmands? Inspired by nature, Anne Coruble, the talented Pastry Chef at the Peninsula Paris, takes us on a journey with an exceptional Yule log: the Perce-Neige Log.

Guided by the beauty and delicacy of the snowdrop, the white flower that bravely emerges from the frozen ground,Anne Coruble has created a dessert that reflects this spirit of hope and rebirth. Imagining winter from a gourmet angle, she reminds us of the taste of childhood with her refined and exquisite log.

The aesthetics of this log are a true tribute to nature. Like a snowdrop emerging from the snow, it faithfully evokes the fragile elegance of this winter flower. Three large petals of crunchy chocolate open delicately, revealing a heart reminiscent of the traditional Christmas tree.

The flavors are a gustatory voyage. Hazelnuts, in a variety of forms, dominate this creation. On a crunchy base of roasted hazelnut and black cardamom, we savor a vanilla-hazelnut marble, a Creusois cookie and a hazelnut cream with smoky notes. Finally, a stracciatella yoghurt cream with Peruvian milk chocolate and a smoked praline with fleur de sel perfect this log. Not forgetting the tangy black cardamom reduction for a final note that awakens the taste buds.
