Ingredients

FOR THE BASE:

panettone (1 )

FOR THE FILLING:

cheese (1 CUP cream cheese)
mascarpone (1 CUP mascarpone)
sugar (½ CUP powdered sugar)
chocolate drops (5 oz dark chocolate (50-55%))
double cream (¼ CUP fresh double cream)

Tools

Food processor

Steps

PREPARATION OF FILLING CREAM

Put the cream cheese, mascarpone, cream and powdered sugar in a bowl.
Whip with an electric mixer until the mixture is homogeneous and creamy.
Meanwhile, break up the chocolate and melt in the microwave.
When it is completely melted, pour into the cream cheese while still hot using an electric mixer until it is perfectly incorporated.

CAKE BASE PREPARATION

Take panettone and using a knife cut the surface to obtain a flat surface. Do the same in the side edges.
It has to become a perfect cylinder.
Then divide the panettone with two horizontal cuts to obtain 3 equal discs of the same thickness.

PANETTONE CAKE PREPARATION

Place the first disc of panettone on a serving plate.
Transfer the filling cream to a pastry bag then cover the first disc with a generous layer of cream.
Arrange a second layer of panettone on top and cover with another layer of filling.
Finish with third and last layer.

Also cover this with cream both on the surface and on the sides of the cake (the thickness of the coating should be about 3-4 mm).
Use a spatula to make the surface smooth and homogeneous.
Cover the whole cake with the panettone which has remained reduced to crumbs, making them adhere to the external icing.
Lightly sprinkle the surface with chopped pistachios and decorate with blueberries or other red fruits to taste.

STORAGE

This cake can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

NOTE

It is important for a good result that when you cut panettone you get a perfect cylinder (not like mine !!! 😊) I recommend using tall and narrow panettone.
