## Steps

1. Whisk the eggs and caster sugar with an electric mixer for at least 5 minutes until light, fluffy and creamy. (5 min)

3. Spread the batter onto a baking tray lined with baking paper and smooth with a spatula.
4. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 7-8 minutes, until golden. (8 min)
5. Let the sponge cool completely.
6. Cover the sponge with paper, flip it over and carefully peel off the top paper.
7. Mix the Nutella with the ricotta until you have a smooth, creamy filling.
8. Spread the filling evenly over the sponge and carefully roll it up into a log.
9. Wrap the log tightly in paper and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. (30 min)
10. Heat the double cream, add the chopped dark chocolate and stir until fully melted.
11. Remove from the heat and let the glaze cool.

13. Place the log on a plate, optionally arranging a few trimmed pieces at the sides as branches.
14. Cover the log with the chocolate glaze.
15. If you like, drag the tines of a fork along the surface to make bark-like lines while the glaze is still soft.
16. Dust with icing sugar to taste.
