For its 2024 Christmas log, Cheval Blanc Paris offers us a gourmet experience that takes us into the imagination of Christmas. Ours is the “Enchanted Train” imagined by Maxime Frédéric and his team. Available from December 20 to 25, this gourmet creation, which combines chocolate and childhood memories, is sure to make a splash on your holiday table.
Every year we look forward to the Christmas creations of the White Horse Paris. For 2024, the pastry chef Maxime Frédéric and his team exceed all expectations with “The Enchanted Sleigh”a log inspired by children's dreams. This unique dessert, both a work of Art and a marvel for the taste buds, reveals itself like a 75% dark chocolate sleigh guided by a horse ready to cross the imagination of young and old.
The finely sculpted horse takes flight while the sleigh that follows it pays homage to the establishment's Art Nouveau architecture with meticulous floral details.
Inside the sleigh, a sweet treasure awaits us: a vanilla rice pudding dessertwrapped in an almond-whipped ganache, decorated with a mandarin confit and a orange caramel. The flavors evoke the sweetness of the chef's childhood, inspired by teurgoule, a Norman specialty with rice and cinnamon. We love the sweetness and regressive side of the rice pudding, which combines wonderfully with the roundness of the ganache and the light pep of the tangerine and orange caramel.
Under this chocolate sculpture, a filled bar, crunchy and airy, reminiscent of fresh snow under a winter sky. The combination of textures, between the softness of the vanilla biscuit and the crispness, creates a perfect harmony which transports the taste buds into an enchanting universe.
We invite you to discover this ephemeral and magical creation, perfect for illuminating your holiday tables. A sweet promise to bring together wonder and gastronomy in a single moment.
For gourmands wishing to treat themselves to this chocolate escapade, know that this Yule log is offered at €220 for 5/6 people in a limited edition. Please note, remember to pre-order in advance on the website White Horse Paris so as not to find yourself with your beak in the water. Collections are then scheduled from December 20 to 25, 2024 directly at the hotel, located at 8 quai du Louvre, Paris 1st.
