Pannettone Christmas cake with mascarpone cream
Ingredients
- 1 Pandoro Pannetone (simple without any fillings or dried fruits)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 2 containers mascarpone cream
- 2 cups 35% whipping cream
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar
- Red and green sprinkles
Directions
- Prepare the Pannetone by cutting it into one-and-a-half-inch slices. Make sure to keep it in the right order with the largest piece on the bottom and the smallest on top.
- Prepare the cream by combining the sugar, vanilla and mascarpone using a hand mixer. In a separate bowl whip the cream until it forms a peak, then fold into the mascarpone mixture. Lastly fold in the chocolate chips.
- Layer each slice of pannetone with cream and then place on each slice by rotating it slightly so it is offset.
- This is best to make the night before so the cream absorbs into the cake. Right before serving garnish with sprinkles and powdered sugar. And top with a decorative star.
