What starts on a smartphone screen often ends up in our shopping carts, and Christmas 2025 is no exception. The viral success of the Dubai pistachio chocolate bar has inspired Picard to create a frozen Yule log that captures the hype. This dessert brings the famous combination of chocolate and pistachio paste to the holiday table in a shareable format.
The log is a study in texture. It eschews the soft, uniform consistency of standard cakes for something more dynamic. Layers of chocolate mousse and pistachio cream are interrupted by crispy angel hair pastry and a crunchy biscuit base. This “crunch” is the defining feature, emulating the viral bar’s addictive quality.
Retailing at €28.99, it is designed to be a premium yet convenient option. There is no baking required—just a bit of planning to defrost it before dinner. A warm knife is the secret weapon for serving, ensuring the chocolate shell and crispy layers are cut cleanly without crumbling.
Flavor-wise, it hits all the right notes for the current palate. Pistachio provides a sophisticated, nutty richness that pairs classically with chocolate. The angel hair adds a lightness that prevents the dessert from feeling too heavy, despite its rich ingredients.
This is a dessert for the modern host who wants to impress with minimal effort. It is trendy, visually appealing, and delicious. Just be sure to check with guests regarding nut allergies, as pistachio is the star ingredient here.
