About this deal

The recipe below looks like a lot of steps but they are all pretty simple. The most fiddly bit is covering the logs in ganache and if they don’t look completely picture perfect, they’ll still taste absolutely delicious. As noted above, you could omit the step where you slice the sponge into smaller rectangles and make this into one large yule log, if you like. On that note, here's a look into the best yule logs for 2022 so far. A number of main brands and retailer's are yet to unveil their yule logs for Christmas – but don't worry, we'll be tasting those as soon as we can get our claws on 'em and adding them into this delicious list. You're welcome!

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Grease and line a large (mine was 23 x 33cm) swiss roll tin with baking parchment. In a small saucepan, bring the cream and sugar to the boil, simmer for one minute then remove from the heat and allow to stand for one minute. Pour the warm cream over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture completely combined.

Where once a mint cornetto felt like the height of sophistication, I now can’t help but notice the slight synthetic aftertaste of the ice cream, its lurid green colour and minty taste more akin to toothpaste than garden. While a nostalgic part of me still enjoys these foods from time to time, the baking part wants to improve them, making my own versions with a nod to the original but an identity all of their own. Asda, Morrisons, M&S, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Aldi and even Cadbury's all have their own versions of the famous chocolate yule log dessert, but which one is the best?

I set out to find a chocolate yule log in every supermarket in my local town. I was successful in all of them except Lidl which really let the side down for not having any chocolate yule logs. What's all that about? The Christmas aisle has well and truly arrived at supermarkets across the UK and with many people starting their big Christmas shops, I thought I'd do my bit to give you a helping hand!

Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool slightly before turning out onto a piece of baking parchment. On the hunt for the best mince pies too? Of course we've also got a roundup dedicated to the pastry treats. Using a palette knife, spread ganache over the top and edges of one of your rolls. Smooth flat then drag the tines of a fork across the surface to create a bark effect. Repeat until all the rolls are covered with ganache.

All, except the Cadbury one were supermarket own brand which you may expect would all taste the same, but my expert chocolate log tasting panel would disagree. M&S and Aldi were also a bit of a struggle as they didn't have a classic yule log, so I had to opt for a mini and a luxury alternative instead.Whip the cream and icing sugar together until firm peaks form (being careful not to over-whip). Stir in the melted chocolate and liqueur then fold in the crushed biscuits. Fill a piping bag with the mixture and set aside.

didn't know which was which. After all, this is serious business!

One of my favourite Christmas treats is a yule log. It doesn't have to be fancy, the ones covered in chocolate and sprinkled with 'snow' are enough to satisfy my yule log needs. Pipe the amaretti cream in a thin layer over the whole surface then roll the whole thing away from you. If any cream splurges out the edges, smooth it off with a palette knife. Repeat until all 16 rectangles are filled and rolled. Last year we relished in what was on offer, with everything from Marks & Spencer's Triple Chocolate Yule Logs, to Morrisons' Hand-Rolled Yule Logs and even Cadbury Chocolate Orange Yule Logs. So, it's fair to say we've set the bar pretty high for this year's offering. So as a fan of a good yule log, I decided to try one from every supermarket to find out which came out on top. Hence the creation of these bite-sized mini rolls or Yule logs. After reading Felicity Cloake’s recent Guardian article on how to make the perfect Yule log, I was itching to get into the kitchen and experiment. We had a Christmas party to go to on Sunday for which I’d promised to do some baking, but rather than bring an unwieldy full-sized log that would need slicing and serving, I decided to attempt some miniature versions instead.
