Christmas Holly Yule Log Recipe
Many many years ago my MIL found a recipe for a Christmas Yule Log. Our family enjoyed it for years. Then suddenly, a major ingredient that was necessary was discontinued. It was Whip & Chill. If it's still made, I can't find it around here.
I experimented, and by golly by accident, came up with a replacement! Yay!
The Almond extract gives this festive dessert a soothing flavor, but of course, you can change the flavoring to any you wish - perhaps Peppermint is your favorite?
Happy Holidays!
