This year, the iconic Parisian institution Café de la Paix is upping the ante on festive treats with a delightful and whimsical creation: a Christmas log shaped like a charming chocolate teddy bear.
This adorable yule log goes beyond mere aesthetics. Beneath its milk and Blond Dulcey chocolate exterior, a playful surprise awaits. Crunchy marbles in three flavors – Blond Dulcey, dark, and white chocolate – add a delightful textural contrast.
But the magic truly lies within the log itself. Encased in the chocolate “bear” is a symphony of textures and flavors. A creamy mousse made with organic Madagascan vanilla surrounds a delicate vanilla cookie insert. Layers of crunchy caramelized pecan feuillantine praline, a rich pecan cremeux, and a touch of decadent salted butter caramel complete the delightful composition.
Presented amidst a bed of festive chocolate “presents,” the Café de la Paix’s teddy bear Christmas log promises to be a crowd-pleaser, sure to evoke sweet memories of childhood for both young and old as they await Santa’s arrival.
Priced at €85 and serving 6-8 people, the teddy bear Christmas log is available for pre-order 48 hours in advance from December 16th to December 31st, 2024. To secure yours, contact Cafe de la Paix via email at cafedelapaixparis@ihg.com or call (+33)1 40 07 36 36.
