Panettone is made with candied fruits and raisins, but the addition of cream and chocolate takes it to a whole new level. This decadent dessert is perfect for those who love the classic combination of cream and chocolate. The creamy filling is usually made with either cream or mascarpone cheese, while the chocolate filling can be made with chocolate chips, cocoa powder, or Nutella.
To make a panettone filled with cream and chocolate, you will need a few ingredients, and a little bit of patience:
Ingredients:
– 1 panettone (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 cup of heavy cream
– 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
– 1 tsp of vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup of chocolate chips
– 1/4 cup of milk
Instructions:
1. Cut the top of the panettone off, about 1/2 inch from the top.
2. Hollow out the inside of the panettone, leaving about 1/2 inch thick walls.
3. Set the bread aside and make the cream filling. In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue beating until fully combined.
4. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted. Add the milk to the melted chocolate and stir until fully combined.
5. Pour the chocolate mixture into the cream mixture and gently fold until fully combined.
6. Spoon the cream and chocolate filling into the hollowed out panettone. Replace the top of the panettone and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.
7. Place the panettone in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
Once the panettone is chilled and the filling has set, it’s ready to be enjoyed. Cut into thick slices and savor every bite of the fluffy and airy bread filled with rich and creamy chocolate filling. This is the perfect dessert to serve to your family and friends during special occasions or to indulge in as a special treat on any day.
In conclusion, a panettone filled with cream and chocolate is a delicious twist on a classic Italian dessert. The combination of fluffy bread, rich cream, and decadent chocolate makes it a dessert loved by many. While it may take a little bit of time to prepare, the final result is well worth the effort. So, grab yourself a panettone and get ready to indulge in a delicious treat.
