A light and delicate pavlova rolled into a log that cracks and overspills makes an absolutely delightful dessert. Make a basic French meringue and garnish it with a black cherry compote and whipped cream. Set the pavlova pieces on a bed of crème anglaise flavoured with almonds, using the egg yolks left over from the meringue. The unpretentious presentation is matched only by its perfection.

Note from Ricardo

Although the meringue will be easier to roll up the same day it is baked, it can be made in advance and rolled the following day.

Once the yule log has been decorated, it is best served immediately. However, it will keep for 1 day in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
