In France, Belgium, Quebec and more generally in French-speaking countries, Christmas dinner ends with the famous Christmas cake, a tradition even older than the Christmas tree
For centuries, it was customary on Christmas Eve to burn a trunk of fruit trees or hardwoods. This recipe calls for chocolate
With the advent of cast iron stoves, little by little this tradition is lost in favor of a pastry Christmas register. It is difficult to know who is behind this dessert. For some, the creator of the Christmas log is an apprentice Parisian confectioner who works in a chocolate factory in the Saint Germain neighborhood, who had the idea in 1834. For others, it would be an invention of Lyon 1860.
Today, the trunk has become the christmas dessert favorite of the French and declined according to taste and region.
In this recipe we present the Christmas trunk Thermomix with white chocolate ganache and raspberries.
