1

In a small sauce pan, heat on medium low the butter, until melted. Set aside.

2

Separate the egg yolks from your eggs whites into two mixing bowls.

3

In the first mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar for about 4 minutes on medium high speed or until it has doubled in size and lighter in color. Combine the all-purpose flour and corn starch. Then, add the melted butter. Mix until smooth.

4

In another mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks. Then, fold it into your first preparation.

5

Preheat oven to 350F/180C.

6

Place your Flexiflat® Tray on the top of your Medium perforated baking sheet.

7

Gently pour over the preparation and evenly spread it with your offset spatula.

8

Bake for 10 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your yule cake base from 8min). It is ready when the sponge springs back when touched lightly.

9

Once your yule cake base is out of the oven, let it cool down for about 5min and then flip it over to the bonMAT™, gently roll it. Set aside until completely cooled down.

10

In a small sauce pan on medium heat, add the sugar and water.

11

Once the sugar has completely melted, remove from heat, add the Rum and set aside.

12

In a mixing bowl, whip the chestnut spread and the butter together until smooth.

13

Then, add the Rum and gently mix with a spatula. Set aside.

14

Place the dark chocolate chunks in your Mini Round Flexipan® Mold. Heat in the Microwave for about 30 seconds at a time. Once out of the microwave, using your Mini Whisk, mix until smooth.

15

Once the yule cake has cooled down, gently unroll it, and brush the syrup over evenly: Be generous!

16

Spread 3/4 of the chestnut mousse, and carefully roll it back placing it directly on your service tray.

17

Add the melted chocolate to the remaining 1/4 of chestnut mousse, stir until incorporated. Using your off set spatula, spread it over your yule log.

18

Let it set in the refrigerator for about 2 hours minimum (best overnight). Take it out of the refrigerator one hour prior enjoying it so the cream has time to come back to room temperature. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
