What You’ll Need:
- 1 Pandoro (store-bought or homemade)
- Whipped cream
- Piping bag and nozzle
- Sharp knife
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Step 1: Prepare the Pandoro
Begin by carefully slicing the Pandoro horizontally into several layers. Make sure to leave the bottom layer slightly thicker to provide a sturdy base for the filling. Gently separate the layers and set them aside.
Step 2: Whip Up the Cream
Take your freshly whipped cream (homemade or store-bought) and transfer it to a piping bag fitted with your desired nozzle. This will allow for easy and precise filling. If you prefer a flavored cream, you can add a hint of vanilla extract or incorporate other flavorings of your choice.
Step 3: Fill the Layers
Starting with the bottom layer of the Pandoro, pipe a generous amount of cream onto the surface. Avoid going too close to the edges as the cream will spread when layers are stacked. Repeat this process with each layer, ensuring an even distribution of cream throughout.
Step 4: Stack and Decorate
Carefully stack the cream-filled layers of Pandoro on top of each other, creating a beautiful tower of sweetness. Once the layers are stacked, you can choose to dust the top layer with powdered sugar for an elegant finishing touch.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve your filled Pandoro as a standalone dessert or pair it with fresh berries for a burst of tartness. You can also add a drizzle of chocolate sauce or caramel for an extra touch of indulgence. Pair it with a warm cup of coffee or a glass of sparkling wine to complete the experience.
