How to prepare this No-Bake Chocolate Biscuit Buche de Noel.
The recipe for this Buche de noel is very easy and quick. First, prepare the chocolate biscuit layer. For this, turn the digestive biscuits into crumbs. Prepare chocolate syrup with sugar, cocoa powder, butter and water. Let it cool slightly and mix with the biscuit crumbs.
For the white filling mix the cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract and desiccated coconut.
Roll the chocolate biscuit layer into a thin rectangle. Spread the coconut cream cheese filling on top. Gently rol into a log and refrigerate for about two hours to set.
Cut a section diagonally on one end and place the small piece with the diagonal cut side against the side of the roll.
Prepare the chocolate ganache and let it cool until thickens. Spread the ganache on top and sides of the Buche de noel. Use a fork to create lines so that it resembles more with a branch.
Sprinkle with desiccated coconut and decorate with fresh mint or rosemary and sugar coated cranberries.

Thank you for the recipe.
My children don’t like coconut so can I replace it with almond powder for example?
Thanks in advance for your answer
Yes.. you can use almonds or ground pecans instead. Sounds like a great idea.
What an easy and visually stunning dessert! Yes, the coconut texture and presence is strong, but reminiscent of a certain popular candy bar. Using a silicone brush to paint on the chocolate ganache created the wood striations naturally. It is a showstopper!
