This last minute pandoro tree is an easy and quick dessert, perfect when Christmas has already arrived and you don’t feel like cooking anymore. It can be prepared in a few minutes, hassle-free, and is perfect to serve as is.
The cream can be customized in a thousand ways: you can add cocoa for a darker tree, decorate with pistachio cream balls, sprinkles, colored sugar, or whatever you prefer.
We can also add a glaze with powdered sugar, water, and a little lemon juice… basically, we are free to decorate as we like!
I used cream and mascarpone that I had in the fridge, but the beauty of this dessert is that it easily adapts to what you have and how you want to make it.
During the holidays, we need easy and delicious desserts to add to our buffet. No baking needed, just a few simple ingredients, minimal effort, intense flavor, and gourmet presentation. It will be a hit!
Suitable for both Christmas and New Year.
Happy Holidays to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. You basically need to make a TREE of sliced pandoro like this photo taken from Cook Well
