This isn't your ordinary yule log - it is completely dairy, nut and egg free. My nephew has severe food allergies, and my sister found the most fabulous cookbook - What's to Eat? The Milk-free, Egg-free, Nut-free Food Allergy Cookbook by Linda Marienhoff Coss. Click here to buy this amazing book.
So this Christmas rolls around and my other sister despirately wanted to have a yule log. Out comes the amazing cookbook - the cake was made with the Chocolate Layer Cake recipe, the filling was the recipe for Chocolate Tofu Mousse and they made a simple chocolate icing for the top. Mushrooms were created not with egg whites mirangue as they normally would but with Kraft Marshmallows - melted in the microwave at various times and pulled/stretched into various shapes. All in all this was the single most delicious part of the holiday.
If you'd like the recipe, drop me a line and let me know and I can get you a copy - otherwise just buy a copy of the book, I promise you'll enjoy everything in there!
Wow! What a creative way to use two of my recipes! I'm so glad my cookbook helped your family to continue to enjoy a cherished family tradition -- in spite of your nephew's severe food allergies.
