A New Shape for Christmas: The Tablet Log

Visuals play a huge role in how we perceive taste, and Picard is shaking things up this Christmas. Abandoning the cylindrical shape of the traditional Yule log, they have introduced a rectangular “tablet” shape for their new pistachio chocolate dessert. This design is directly inspired by the blocky aesthetic of the viral Dubai chocolate bar.
The shape serves a purpose beyond aesthetics. It allows for uniform layering of the pistachio biscuit, angel hair crunch, cream, and mousse. Every slice gets the perfect ratio of ingredients, ensuring a consistent experience for every guest.
At €28.99, it brings a contemporary edge to the holiday table. The sharp lines and flat top look sophisticated and modern. It is easier to store in a crowded freezer and easier to slice cleanly than a round log.
The flavor profile backs up the bold look. The robust pistachio and dark chocolate notes are intense and satisfying. The modern shape hints at the modern flavors inside, setting expectations for a trendy, crunchy experience.
This is a dessert for the design-conscious host. It looks great on a platter and photographs beautifully. It is a break from tradition that feels fresh and exciting, perfect for a stylish 2025 Christmas.
