3Bûche de Noël (Italian Style)
While Bûche de Noël is originally a French dessert, it has found its place in many Italian homes, particularly in the northern regions near the French border. This Yule log-shaped dessert is typically made from a light sponge cake filled with buttercream or whipped cream. The Italian version may be flavored with coffee, chocolate, or fruit, and decorated with festive touches like marzipan or candied fruits.
Why Try It: Bûche de Noël is a decadent dessert that’s as much about presentation as it is about taste. The soft, spongy cake and rich cream filling create a delightful dessert that looks as festive as it tastes.
