The piece of wood became a tasty family dessert. <\/p>\n<p>To pay tribute to this custom, Yannick Begel, Pastry Chef at Les Etangs de Corot, came up with an unexpected combination. While strolling through the surrounding forest of Fausses-Reposes, he came up with the ingenious idea of combining porcini, an iconic mushroom of the French forests, with chocolate, an essential element of the traditional Christmas dessert. <\/p>\n<p>Coated with a cocoa glaze, the log features a mischievous mushroom that seems to have grown amidst the hazelnut slivers. With the flick of a spoon, this delicious dessert reveals a daring interplay of flavors: a 70% dark chocolate mousse delicately melts into a creamy porcini heart. Finally, the crispness of a hazelnut cookie once again echoes the forest flavors. I love it when my desserts surprise, especially at Christmas,&#8221; concludes Yannick Begel, &#8220;and what better tribute to the exceptional environment of our establishment than this original recipe?   <\/p>\n<p>Yannick Begel&#8217;s genuine log from our forests is served as a dessert at the Michelin-starred restaurant, Le Corot, at dinner on December 25, 2015 and offered at tea time at the Caf\u00e9 des Artistes from December 24 to 27, 2015 at a price of 15 euros per person.
