Recipe:

Chocolate ganache (ideally prepared the day before):

Crush the chocolate into small pieces. Heat 300g of cream, and turn the heat off as soon as it starts to boil. Add the chocolate and stir until the mixture is smooth. Gradually add the remaining 600g of cold single cream while stirring. Stir for 1 minute and refrigerate for at least 5 hours.

Chocolate sponge:

Place a sheet of baking paper over a baking tray. Preheat your oven to 180°C. In a bain-marie, whisk the whole eggs with the sugar by hand. The mixture should heat to an even temperature of 40°C. Then leave the bain-marie and whisk until completely cooled. Using a fine sieve, sift the flour and cocoa over the mixture. Gently stir with a spatula in a circular motion. Pour the mixture onto the baking tray and spread into a 1cm-thick layer. Bake at 180°C for 15 minutes. Check if done. Remove from the oven and place a sheet of baking paper on top. Gently turn over the sponge. Leave to cool.

Genoise syrup:

Slice the vanilla pod in half. Place the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 1 hour. Remove the vanilla pod and set aside.

Presentation:

– Take the ganache and whisk it in the mixer for 3 to 5 minutes until it has the appearance of Chantilly cream. Place in a piping bag with a yule log nozzle.

– Cut the Genoise sponge lengthways: 2/3 for Minnie’s head, and 1/3 for Minnie’s ears.

– Cover the Genoise with 0.5 cm whipped ganache, then roll the two yule logs over and completely cover each yule log with whipped ganache.

– Cool for 5 hours.

– Cut 1.5 cm slices on the larger yule log to make Minnie’s head, and 1.5 cm slices in the smaller yule log to make Minnie’s ears.

– Assemble the 3 slices on a plate as shown in the photo, and decorate with your chocolate or marzipan decorations

What a beautiful and delicious holiday treat from Disneyland Paris. We can’t wait to see what other recipes and fun the release during the next few days.

About Jennifer Retzlaff

My name is Jennifer Retzlaff and I became a lifelong Disney fan during my first trip to Walt Disney World in 6th grade. From that moment, Disney became a big part of my life. I live in Iowa with my husband and two kids who are growing up too quickly for my liking. I started introducing my love for Disney early to my family with a Disney honeymoon and then trips when our youngest of 18 months. Since then, our family has been to Walt Disney World over five times and we continue to plan and dream for the next trip. I love the magic that Disney brings to people through the theme parks, cruises, adventures and movies they create. As a teacher, I try to bring that magic into my classroom to help kids believe that “If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It.” I recently reached a dream of mine as I joined Magic Vacation Planner as a personal travel advisor. With this team, I can now help others plan magical vacations. As a passionate writer, I also have my own blog at magicalvacationsbyjen which is also where you can follow me on instagram for trip reviews along with tips and tricks for your next magical vacation.
