Frosting & Serving a Yule Log Dessert

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Kip and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. We have now added the filling and rerolled our yule log. Now it is time to take the chocolate frosting that we made and frost our yule log. At this point what I would do is I would move the log from the towel to a baking sheet and then move our towel. Next, we are going to go ahead and take about 3/4 to a 1/2 inch off of each end of our log. This would give up a good round clean end and also we gives us a nice knot for our log. This next step and if your chocolate got too thick go ahead and reheat it and we are going to put that on our yule log; this side until the entire thing is cover. Then go ahead and take the ends that you did and make your self a little tree knot. We are going to put one on each side here. Go ahead and take a little more of my chocolate and I'm going to make the knot in our tree. You can do one or you can do two it does not much matter. Oops that is falling apart but that is okay cause we get it to stick together anyway. There we go it looks more like a knot and then you can do one last step to make it look more like a little tree. If you just take a fork, we can actually run grain or bark lines down on our tree or our log. There we have it we just have to transfer this to our serving platter."
