Buche De Noel (Yule Log)

If you’ve ever watched repetitive burning of a yule log on your television screen, this recipe is absolutely the festive upgrade you’ll need— even in the absence of a fire place. Not only does it have a picture-ready chocolatey shell, but the cottage cheese filling is to die for! I highly recommend you attempt this fun cooking challenge. It is totally worth it!

Pavlova Christmas Wreath

For a bit of a lighter desert, I highly reccomend you attempt this delicious construction. Every complete desert dish requires a little berries and cream!
