Christmas is a holiday for the little ones, and with the STAR-SHAPED PANDORO FOR KIDS, we’ll have a delicious and festive dessert to make the arrival of Santa Claus even more magical.
This recipe combines the tradition of pandoro with an attractive presentation, perfect for involving the little ones in the preparation and joy of Christmas cooking.
The horizontally sliced pandoro turns into a spectacular creation thanks to a filling of sweet mascarpone cream enriched with delicious 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 chocolate mascarpone cream or the gianduia cream.
This Christmas dessert will surely become the center of attention on the holiday table, gifting moments of joy and sweetness to the whole family.

Cut the pandoro into horizontal slices about 0.75 inches thick.
Place a star-shaped pandoro slice on the base where you will serve the dessert. I used a slate plate.

Layer another star-shaped pandoro slice, fill with the remaining cream, and decorate as desired with Christmas-themed sugars and powdered sugar.
