Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Base
- Lay a sheet of cling wrap on flat surface
- Place the sponge cake slab on top of the cling wrap
Step 2: Layer the Ice Cream
- Remove Golden North Simply Indulge Ice Cream from its tub in one piece and cut into thin slices.
- Layer the ice cream slices evenly over the sponge cake.
- Add up to two Golden North Giant Twins on top of the layered ice cream.
Step 3: Roll and Freeze
- Tightly wrap the sponge and ice cream layers in the cling wrap, ensuring there are no air gaps.
- Wrap the log again in foil, twisting the ends to seal it securely.
- Place the wrapped log in the freezer for at least 24 hours.
Step 4: Make Pourable Chocolate Ganache
- Tightly wrap the sponge and ice cream layers in the cling wrap, ensuring there are no air gaps.
- Wrap the log again in foil, twisting the ends to seal it securely.
- Place the wrapped log in the freezer for at least 24 hours.
Step 4: Shape the Log
- After freezing, unwrap the log and cut it into your desired shape. For a traditional Yule Log look, cut two smaller pieces to create branches.
Step 5: Coat with Ganache
- Pour the chocolate ganache over the log, letting it coat the surface and drip down the sides.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set the ganache.
Step 6: Add the Final Touches
- Decorate your Yule Log! You can get creative with edible additions like meringue mushrooms or use decorative ornaments (non-edible). For a realistic log effect, use a fork to etch bark-like lines into the ganache.
