PANDORO Baskets with Limoncello
Useful tips:
You can replace the limoncello with lemon juice and a teaspoon of sugar if you prefer a non-alcoholic version.
The baskets can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but they are best when freshly made.
For a lighter version, you can use vegetable cream or Greek yogurt instead of regular cream.
If you want a crunchy touch, add chopped hazelnuts or almonds on top of the cream.
