Have you already decided on your Christmas dessert? The 24 is fast approaching. Personally, I find that good Christmas logs are often overpriced when it is ultimately not so difficult to make it especially since it is possible to prepare it in advance. The day before for the next day, this log with glazed chestnuts and mascarpone whipped cream is simply divine. My office colleagues who took advantage of it will confirm it!
Here you go!
