Complete recipe available in my store in the ebook – Bûches 2024.
Assembly (the day before)
Beat the pear ganache with an electric mixer. Pour the pear ganache into your silikomart log mould, the frozen insert then the sponge cake with the speculoos crisp last. Place in the freezer overnight.
You can adapt my recipe to other log mould shapes.
The next day, remove the log from the mould and immediately apply the brown velvet spray.
