Kris Kringle Bûche de Noël

With a light dusting of "snow," this festive yule log features a chocolate cream center that melts in your mouth. Decorated candy "mushrooms" add an unforgettable winter touch that is sure to impress.

Ingredients:

Powdered sugar
5 large eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
2/3 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sifted cake flour
1/3 cup NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Baking Cocoa
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Baking Cocoa
2 tablespoons hazelnut liqueur
1/3 cup toasted, skinned and ground hazelnuts (optional)
1/4 cup powdered sugar to decorate
Candy mushrooms to decorate (optional)

Directions:

FOR CAKE:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1-inch jelly-roll pan; line with parchment or wax paper. Grease and flour wax paper. Sprinkle thin, cotton kitchen towel with powdered sugar.

Beat egg whites in small mixer bowl until foamy. Add cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat 1/3 cup granulated sugar until stiff, shiny peaks form. Set aside.

Beat egg yolks and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl for about 5 minutes or until thick and pale. Gradually beat in remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Fold in flour and baking cocoa.

Fold about one-third of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten, then turn the chocolate mixture into the whites and fold it in gently but thoroughly. Spread evenly into prepared pan.

Bake for 12 minutes or until cake springs back when touched. Immediately turn cake onto prepared towel. Carefully peel off paper. Roll up cake and towel together, starting with narrow end. Cool completely, seam-side-down, on wire rack.

FOR CHOCOLATE CREAM:

Beat whipping cream, granulated sugar, baking cocoa and liqueur in large mixer bowl until firm. If desired, fold in ground nuts. Carefully unroll cake. Spread cream mixture evenly over cake, reserving 2 tablespoons. Re-roll cake.

Cut a 1-inch-thick diagonal slice from one end of the cake roll. Place cake roll on serving platter, seam-side-down. Use the reserved cream mixture to attach the cut piece against the side of the cake roll to resemble a knot. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving time.

AT SERVING TIME: dust the cake with ¼-cup powdered sugar to resemble snow. Decorate with candy mushrooms, if desired.

Cook's Tip: The filled cake can be kept in the refrigerator overnight or wrapped airtight and frozen for 2 weeks. Keep wrapped and thaw in the refrigerator.

Cranberry Eggnog Cheesecake

For The Crust:

3 T. butter or margarine
3 T. sugar
1 egg
1 C. all-purpose flour
1/4 t. baking powder
1/8 t. salt

For The Cheesecake:

1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/2 C. sugar
2 eggs, separated
1 1/2 C. eggnog
1 T. all-purpose flour
1 t. vanilla
1 t. lemon juice

For The Topping:

1 C. chopped fresh cranberries
1/2 C. sugar
1½ t. unflavored gelatin softened in ¼-c. water
Whipped dessert topping, for garnish

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. To make the crust, cream together the butter and 3 T. sugar. Add the egg and blend. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt.

Press mixture evenly over bottom and 1½ inches up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch springform pan. It will make a rather thin crust.

To make the filling, cream together softened cream cheese, ½-c. sugar and egg yolks. (Reserve egg whites.) Slowly add eggnog, 1 T. flour, vanilla and lemon juice. Beat the reserved egg whites until stiff, then gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the beaten egg whites. Pour mixture into prepared crust.

Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Cool completely.

To make cranberry topping, combine chopped cranberries, remaining ½-C. sugar and 1/3 C. water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir gelatin-water mixture into hot cranberries until dissolved. Refrigerate until partly set. Spoon atop cooled cheesecake, spreading to make an even layer. Chill several hours or overnight. Pipe whipped dessert topping around edge.

Makes 12-15 servings.
