The recipe

For 8 to 10 people

+Icing sugar

Separate the whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer, adding the sugar gradually. Then add the egg yolks. Mix gently with a spatula. Sift in the flour. Mix again. Fill a piping bag with a plain tip. Poach the sponge biscuits on a sheet of baking paper and sprinkle with icing sugar. Bake at 180°C for 8 to 10 minutes. Leave the biscuit to cool and cut to the size of your mould.

Place the gelatine sheets in a large bowl of cold water for about ten minutes.

In a small bowl pour the milk and heat it in the microwave. Add the softened and wrung-out gelatine. Mix well.

Separate the whites from the yolks. Beat the yolks with the mascarpone and half the sugar (40g). Add the milk and gelatine. Mix and set aside.

Beat the egg whites with the remaining 40g sugar. Gently mix the egg whites with the mascarpone cream.

Assembly
A double espresso

Soak the top of your biscuits with coffee using a brush.
Pour the cream into the mould. Using a spoon, spread the cream evenly, bringing it up to the edges. Place your first biscuit on top, soak the other side of the biscuit. Top with the cream, working your way up the edges. Place your second biscuit on top and soak it again in coffee. Top with cream and finish with your last biscuit. Place in the freezer overnight. 

The next day, turn out your log.

Apply the white velvet spray and then the brown velvet spray. I decorated with chocolate coffee beans and small gold leaves. Finally, I placed two log tips made of dark chocolate.
