Preparation

1
1. Prepare the rolled biscuit:
2
Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
3
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Whisk the yolks with the sugar until the mixture turns pale. Stir in the cornflour and rice flour.
4
Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the previous mixture.
5
Spread the dough evenly on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, until the biscuit is lightly golden.
6
Remove the biscuit from the oven, turn it upside down onto a clean, damp tea towel, then gently roll it up in the tea towel. Let it cool.
7
2. Prepare the coconut-passion fruit mousse:
8
Soften the gelatin sheets in cold water. If using agar-agar, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
9
Gently heat the coconut milk with the sugar and passion fruit pulp. Add the drained gelatin (or agar-agar) and stir until completely dissolved. If using agar-agar, heat the mixture for two minutes. Let it cool slightly.
10
Whip the liquid cream into whipped cream and gently fold it into the cooled coconut milk-passion fruit mixture.
11
3. Prepare the mango compote:
12
Heat the diced mango with the sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan over low heat until the mango is soft.
13
Blend lightly to obtain a smooth compote or with some chunks. Let cool.
14
4. Assemble the log:
15
Carefully unroll the cooled biscuit and spread a thin layer of mango compote over the entire surface.
16
Add a generous layer of coconut-passion fruit mousse.
17
Roll the biscuit up tightly, then wrap it in cling film. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the log to set properly.
18
5. Decorate the yule log:
19
Place the log on a serving platter. Cover it with a thin layer of the remaining mousse (or whipped cream).
