The Christmas yule log is a Nordic tradition that stems all the way back to the 15th century. It’s the tradition of a whole cut down tree where the cut end was placed into a fire and for the 12 nights leading up to Christmas this tree would feed the fire, so it was constantly moving into the fire. This custom spread throughout Europe.

The dessert became popularized in the 19th century and is still common to see at Christmas in Belgium and France where it is known as the Bûche de Noël. The yule log is a beautiful Christmas dessert showpiece, but it does take a bit of time, so get ready to hone those baking and pastry skills.
