Dessert with Colomba, Panettone, or Pandoro

Recipe for creams with preparation in a pot or with the Bimby.
I created a dessert to make use of all the Colomba , Panettone or Pandoro that remain from our tables.
Alternatively, if you want to make a dessert by recycling these magnificent specialties of Italian cuisine.
At first glance, it has the composition of a tiramisu, but it has nothing to do with the famous dessert.
In fact, it is only similar in assembly, but it is actually composed of 2 very different and much lighter creams.

  • Once all the milk has been added, bring the pot to the heat on low flame and thicken while stirring, especially on the bottom.
    As soon as you feel that the cream has thickened, remove half of it and put it in a bowl, with plastic wrap on top.

    The cream
  • Incorporate 25 g of cocoa into the rest. Mix vigorously with the whisk or immersion blender.

  • Once the chocolate cream is obtained, cover it too with plastic wrap and continue with the recipe.

    chocolate
  • You can make the soaking solution as desired: if there are children, you may prefer a simple soak made of milk alone or milk and cocoa or with instant coffee.

  • If you prefer an alcoholic soak, you can opt for a solution of water, rum, and sugar.
    Heat 1/2 cup of water with 2 tablespoons of sugar, and stir; as soon as the sugar has dissolved, add 1.4 oz of rum or another liqueur of choice.

    Chocolate Custard

FAQ (Questions and Answers)

Dessert with Colomba, Panettone, or Pandoro

  • If I wanted to create the dessert with just one cream, how can I do it?

    If you want to make the dessert with just white cream, skip the second part concerning the preparation of the creams; on the contrary, if you want a dessert with only chocolate cream, do not divide the cream into 2 parts halfway through the work, but double the weight of the cocoa.
