The Bûche de Noël, or Yule Log as it's commonly known, is a beloved holiday dish, and now dessert fans can enjoy it in a whole new way thanks to Trader Joe's Bûche de Noël ice cream.
Bûche de Noël is a traditional French Christmas cake that is made of sponge cake rolled into the shape of a log and filled with buttercream or another creamy filling. Putting a sweet twist on this holiday classic, Trader Joe's has taken the log-shaped cake and turned it into Trader Joe’s Bûche de Noël (Yule Log) Ice Cream. As the brand explains, each pint features "a classic, custard-flavored ice cream with pieces of decadent chocolate cake and a rich, cocoa swirl," meaning that "you'll get the elements of a classic Bûche de Noël cake in each bite."
Only available for a limited-time, Trader Joe's Bûche de Noël ice cream puts a delightful twist on a Christmas classic.
