- Assembly of the log - advice from the pastry chef:
Place the cookie and gently fit it into a mold. The cookie should cover the bottom and go up on both edges. Pour half of the chocolate mousse and a small amount of caramel. Add a cookie strip. Cover the whole with the remaining foam. Close the whole with a strip of biscuit. Put the whole thing in the freezer. Melt the icing with a spatula at around 40 ° C. Once the log has been taken out of the freezer, pour in the icing and let drain for 1 to 2 minutes, then place the whole on a dish.
Advice from the pastry chef : For a better tasting, the log should be taken out 25 to 30 minutes before presenting it to the table.
