Assembly and finishing
Prepare the cream mix and syrup and store them in the refrigerator. Make the compote and pour out 580g into a 4mm-high ganache frame
which you have chilled in the freezer and placed on a 3D chocolate sheet. Freeze.
Make the biscuit and spread out 750g per 40 x 60cm tray. Bake at 345°F (175°C) for 12 minutes.Add 1400g of crispy praline to a 40 x 60cm frame. Cut the 3 layers of biscuit to fit the frame (ideally 36 x 52cm).
Steep each biscuit in 100g of syrup. Spread 1080g of cream mix on the crispy praline, then cover this with a layer of biscuit.
Spread out 780g of compote, then cover with another layer of biscuit.
Spread on another 1080g of cream mix, then cover this with the final layer of biscuit. Finish off the Yule Log by adding 360g of compote on top,
then freeze. Cut out 6 x 52cm strips. Make the mousse and pour 930g into each flat-bottomed mold. Put the insert in place, then freeze.
If the mousse is even slightly too soft, place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes before you put the insert in place.Turn the desserts out then spray on a layer of Absolu Cristal glaze, which you have diluted in advance to contain 5% mandarin pulp and brought
to the boil. Freeze. Use a piping bag to apply some Almond Inspiration frosting so that it runs down the sides of the Yule Log.
