In the world of desserts, texture is just as important as taste. Picard understands this, as evidenced by their new Christmas 2025 Yule log. Drawing inspiration from the viral Dubai pistachio bar, this dessert is engineered to deliver a satisfying crunch with every bite, breaking the monotony of soft holiday puddings.
The log is a masterpiece of layering. It combines a solid pistachio biscuit base with a layer of crispy angel hair pastry. These crunchy elements are enveloped in smooth pistachio cream and decadent chocolate mousse. The result is a dessert that crackles and melts simultaneously.
Selling for €28.99, it is accessible luxury. The log is styled like a large chocolate bar, offering a sleek, modern look for the dessert table. Picard recommends serving it slightly chilled but not frozen, allowing the mousse to soften while the crunch remains intact.
Pistachio is the flavor of the moment, and this log celebrates it fully. The nut’s natural savoriness complements the sweet chocolate, while the angel hair adds a golden, toasted note. It is a sophisticated flavor profile that appeals to adult palates.
Because it relies so heavily on nuts for both flavor and structure, it is not suitable for everyone. However, for nut lovers, it is a dream come true. It pairs excellent with a sharp fruit salad to cleanse the palate between bites.
