For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate wafers. If you don't have orange-flavored liqueur, you can substitute with orange juice or a teaspoon of orange extract. Get creative with your decorations! Use edible glitter, candied cranberries, or even meringue mushrooms for a unique look. For a peppermint flavor, crush some candy canes and sprinkle them over the whipped cream.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, cocoa powder, 3 tablespoons of orange-flavored liqueur, and sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside. (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
In a medium bowl, mix the orange marmalade with the remaining 2 tablespoons of orange-flavored liqueur. (2 minutes)
03
Step
0 mins
Select a platter long and wide enough to accommodate a 12-inch yule log with two 'knots.'
04
Step
20 mins
On the flat side of the first chocolate wafer, spread a scant teaspoon of the marmalade mixture, followed by 1 1/2 teaspoons of the whipped cream mixture, covering the entire surface. Top with another wafer, flat side up. Repeat this process until you have a stack of approximately 3 inches of wafers. (20 minutes)
05
Step
15 mins
Carefully stand the wafer stack on its side at a slight angle on the serving platter. Continue adding wafers to the log until only 16 wafers remain. (15 minutes)
06
Step
10 mins
Stack the remaining 16 wafers into two piles of 8 each, also on a slight angle, on either side of the main log to form the two 'knots.' (10 minutes)
07
Step
10 mins
Spread the remaining whipped cream mixture generously over the entire yule log, ensuring it's completely coated. (10 minutes)
08
Step
5 mins
Create a 'bark' effect by running the tines of a fork along the log and each knot, texturing the whipped cream. (5 minutes)
09
Step
3 hrs
Gently cover the yule log with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the log to set. (3+ hours)
10
Step
10 mins
Using a toothpick or ice pick, carefully make a small hole in the bottom of each nonpareil. Stick a chocolate kiss into each hole to create the chocolate mushrooms. (10 minutes)
11
Step
5 mins
Decorate the yule log with clusters of the chocolate mushrooms and scatter fresh raspberries around the platter for a festive touch. (5 minutes)
