Red berry yule log

Preparation stepsTotal time: 1 hr 20

1. 1

   Sponge10 min

   

   The same sponge as for a classic yule log, 10 minutes at 180°C. Preheat the oven to the temperature given, with the rack in the middle. Only open the door if the recipe says so: the dish is ready when it is golden and the time is up.

2. 2

   Cream5 min

   

   Whip the cream with the powdered sugar and half the berries, crushed. Add the delicate ingredients off the heat, a little at a time, lifting the mixture from the bottom up so it does not collapse. Amounts for this step: 250 g red berries; 2 tbsp powdered sugar.

3. 3

   Roll1 hr

   

   Spread, roll up and chill for 1 hour. Press plastic wrap onto the surface to stop a skin forming, and chill it away from the back wall of the fridge. This rest is part of the total time.

4. 4

   Decorate5 min

   

   Fresh berries on top. Plate at the last minute. Taste for salt, pepper and acidity, then serve right away: a hot dish is served hot, a cold dish is served cold. Amount for this step: 250 g red berries.
