Description
Create elegant, individual-sized mini Yule log cakes using Swiss Rolls for a festive holiday dessert that balances tradition with refined presentation.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 Little Debbie Swiss Rolls
- 1/2 cup chocolate frosting, canned
- 2 tbsp green frosting, canned
- 18 red pearl sprinkles or sixlets
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar, optional
Instructions
- Remove 6 Swiss Rolls from the package and place them a few inches apart on parchment paper. Cut the remaining 2 rolls at an angle to create 3 smaller pieces from each one. Set these smaller pieces aside.
- Use a chef’s knife to slice a thin piece off each end of the 6 larger rolls.
- Use an offset spatula to spread chocolate frosting over the outside of the Swiss Rolls. Take one small piece, add frosting to one end, and secure it to the side of a large roll. Use extra frosting to blend the pieces together. Discard any broken pieces and re-frost as needed.
- Once all 6 logs are frosted, lightly run the tines of a fork over the frosting to create a bark texture.
- Fit a piping bag with a small leaf tip, add the green frosting, and pipe two leaves on each log.
- Add three red pearl sprinkles to each pair of holly leaves.
- Dust with powdered sugar for a snowy finish, if you choose.
Notes
- This recipe uses pre-made Swiss Rolls for approachability and speed.
- Edible gold dust can be added after the powdered sugar for a shimmering effect, if desired.
- These individual cakes are perfect for gifting or serving on a dessert platter.
