Buche de Noel



Our traditional Christmas Eve dessert - but this year we're having it on Christmas Day, when the family is here. I like it because it's light, can be done ahead, and is chocolate! To me, dessert is hardly dessert without chocolate.
I finished the buche this morning and went out and clipped a little holly to decorate the plate. It sits prettily in the downstairs refrigerator, awaiting tomorrow.

    Love this! It looks wonderful, but I know it will taste even better.
