Ingredients
- 1 pandoro cake
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons vanilla sugar
- 500 g mascarpone
- Chocolate chips or fresh fruit (for decoration)
- Icing sugar
Instructions
Prepare the Cream
Separate the egg whites from the yolks into two bowls.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the mascarpone and mix until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the whipped egg whites using a spatula, working from the bottom up to keep the mixture airy.
Assemble the Pandoro
Slice the pandoro horizontally into thick layers (about 3 cm).
Spread the mascarpone cream between each layer, slightly rotating them to create the classic star shape.
Decorate
Dust generously with icing sugar.
Decorate with chocolate chips, cherries, or fresh fruit as desired.
Serve
Serve immediately or chill briefly before serving for a firmer texture.
A festive Italian classic: simple, elegant, and perfect for celebrating the holiday season with family and friends.
