Christmas is the holiday for the little ones, and with the PANDORO STAR FOR CHILDREN, we’ll have a delicious and festive dessert to make Santa Claus’s arrival even more magical.
This recipe combines the tradition of pandoro with an appealing presentation, perfect for involving children in both preparation and the joy of Christmas cooking.
Horizontally cut slices of pandoro transform into a spectacular creation with a filling of sweetened mascarpone cream enriched with tasty chocolate chips.
The final touch is given by decoration with Christmas-themed sprinkles, making this star not only a pleasure for the palate but also a visual spectacle.
We can fill it simply as indicated in this recipe, but for a more indulgent version, I recommend trying the Mascarpone and Chocolate Cream or the Gianduia Cream.
This Christmas dessert will surely become the center of attention on the holiday table, bringing moments of joy and sweetness for the whole family.
