PANDORO LOG with TIRAMISU, an easy and quick festive dessert with cream and instant coffee, ready in a few minutes, creamy and delicious.
So… if you also have a pandoro looking sadly at you from the pantry, today I save your day (and Christmas!) with my PANDORO LOG with TIRAMISU.
A very easy and super scenic dessert, prepared in 10 minutes without an oven and with very few ingredients: cream, mascarpone, and instant coffee. I promise it will be a guaranteed success at the table — creamy, delicious, and with that coffee aroma that immediately feels festive.
Perfect as a Christmas or New Year’s dessert, but also as a last-minute sweet when you need something “wow” without stress.
I often prepare it the night before, leave it in the fridge, and it’s even better the next day: the cream firms up and the pandoro becomes soft and fragrant, almost like a classic tiramisu but in a Christmas version.
Follow me in the kitchen today there’s the PANDORO LOG with TIRAMISU.

Ingredients

Steps
Cut a slice of pandoro into 3 thin slices lengthwise.
Overlap the slices to form a rectangle and flatten with a rolling pin.
Whip the cream with the instant coffee and fill the rectangle with part of the filling.
Roll it up and cut two slanted pieces on the two sides of the roll, cover with the cream you set aside and place the two pieces, one on the side and the other on top.
Cover with cream and draw wood grain lines with a fork, dust with cocoa powder, and decorate with red berries and rosemary.
Store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Blogger Tip
For an even more delicious result, add some dark chocolate drops to the cream or a dusting of unsweetened cocoa between the layers. If you want an elegant touch, decorate the pandoro log with whipped cream and coffee beans or a cascade of chocolate shavings — guaranteed “wow” effect for the holiday buffet!
And if you want to make it even quicker, you can use instant coffee dissolved in a little water: it saves the moka and still smells wonderful.

FAQ PANDORO LOG with TIRAMISU
Can I prepare the pandoro log with tiramisu in advance?
Yes! It is highly recommended. Make the log the night before and let it rest in the fridge: it will be even better and firmer.
Can I freeze the log?
Of course! Wrap it in plastic wrap and freeze it. Just let it thaw in the fridge a few hours before serving.
Can I use panettone instead of pandoro?
Absolutely yes! It will be a bit more rustic but delicious. Perfect if you also have leftover panettone.
How can I make the cream lighter?
You can substitute part of the mascarpone with sifted ricotta or Greek yogurt: it will be more delicate but still delicious.
Can I make it without coffee?
Yes, for a child-friendly version, replace coffee with chocolate milk or soluble barley.
