The buche de noel or yule log dessert is a Christmas tradition in some parts of Europe (particularly France) derived from old folk traditions. Usually a large, heavily decorated jelly roll cake that is sliced into individual servings, these yule logs are instead single serving-sized and made from chocolate ice cream, taking the classic in a new direction.

To make them, luxury chocolate ice cream is tempered, then hand-formed into a yule log shape using traditional ice cream molding techniques. The logs are then hand-glazed with ice for surface decoration, a delightful crunch, and slower melting on the plate. The molding process removes much of the air normally found in ice cream and sorbets, concentrating their flavor. 
 
Each log is roughly 4 inches long by one inch wide and can be used as a single serving.  

St. Clair Ice Cream has been crafting these gorgeous desserts for weddings, fancy dinners, and other gatherings for over 22 years. The techniques they use for this dying art are far older, passed down to them by one of the last small artisanal molded ice cream shops.

Ingredients:
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Ice Cream: Milkfat and Nonfat Milk, Sugar and/or Corn Syrup, Chocolate Syrup (Sugar, Cocoa, Corn Syrup), Chocolate Chips (Semi-Sweet Chocolate with Soya Lecithin added as an Emulsifier, and added Vanilla), Eggyolk, Stabilizer (Dextrose, Guar Gum, Carrageenan).

Caution: St. Clair ice creams ship with dry ice, which means that the temperature is significantly below freezing. Therefore, the ice creams will be very hard when taken straight of the box. Please let the ice creams sit in the freezer for a couple hours or on the counter for a few minutes before biting into them. Further, do not handle dry ice with your bare hands. Use gloves and place dry ice in the sink, away from children, where it can melt safely. Ice creams are produced in a facility that processes nuts and eggs.

Storage: Upon receiving your molded ice cream yule logs, remove them from their dry ice packaging, and immediately transfer them to an airtight container in your freezer. Do not remove them from the cold until minutes before serving them. If you must move them to another freezer, do so in a cooler with plenty of ice.

Shelf Life: Use within three weeks for best quality.

Serve these ice cream yule logs as a festive dessert at your next Christmas party or holiday gathering.

Keep them in your freezer until a few minutes prior to consumption (they will be too hard to eat straight from the freezer). Direct contact with metal will cause them to melt faster. If your bowls, plates or platters are metal, put an insulating layer underneath the ice cream like a cloth, food safe leaf, or edible flower petals. They would also look beautiful served on eco-friendly disposable palm leaf plates.
