Gone are the days when a Yule log had to look like a piece of wood. In 2025, Picard is introducing a sleek, architectural dessert that looks like a giant chocolate tablet. Inspired by the viral Dubai pistachio bar, this log brings a modern, minimalist aesthetic to the Christmas spread.
The visual appeal is matched by the internal structure. Clean layers of pistachio biscuit, golden angel hair crunch, green pistachio cream, and dark chocolate mousse create a stunning cross-section when sliced. It is a dessert designed for the Instagram age, where presentation is paramount.
At €28.99, it is an affordable piece of edible art. The rectangular shape makes it easy to portion evenly, unlike traditional rolled logs. A chilled serving plate and a warm knife are recommended to maintain the sharp lines and glossy finish of the chocolate.
The flavor is as contemporary as the look. Pistachio and dark chocolate is a sophisticated pairing that feels grown-up and refined. The “angel hair” adds a surprise element of crunch that delights guests and adds to the sensory experience.
This log is perfect for modern, stylish holiday gatherings. It signals that the host is up-to-date with culinary trends. While not suitable for nut-allergic guests, it is a visual and gastronomic treat for everyone else.
