Ingredients for Charlotte with Pandoro and Mascarpone
- Half pandoro
- 9 oz mascarpone
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 2.1 oz sugar
- as needed milk
- as needed cocoa
Tools
- 1 Knife
- 1 Plate
- 1 Mold
- 1 Electric Whisk
Preparation of Charlotte with Pandoro and Mascarpone
First, cut the pandoro into 4 horizontal slices. Use one slice as the base, set aside a smaller one, and cut the other two into quarters to make wedges. Assemble the cake by placing a springform pan of 8/9 inches diameter, without the base, on a plate. Arrange the base inside the mold and line the circle with the cut wedges standing upright. Brush the pandoro with a little milk.
In a bowl, mix the mascarpone with the sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. In another bowl, whip the cream using an electric whisk. Once whipped, fold it into the mascarpone, mixing slowly from bottom to top.
Pour the cream over the pandoro, make a layer about 3/4 inch thick, smooth it out, then add the other slice of pandoro, brush with milk, pour the rest of the cream, and smooth it. In the center, I placed two star-shaped cookie cutters, one inside the other, and sprinkled a generous amount of cocoa in the center and around the edges of the Charlotte. Refrigerate for half an hour before serving.
notes
Are you very greedy?? You can add pistachio crumbs or chocolate to your Charlotte with Pandoro. If you prepare it in the morning for the evening, I recommend dusting with cocoa just before serving. It keeps in the fridge for a couple of days.
