Cooking with Curves! Christmas Panettone Berry Dessert.

When l need to take a plate!

You know how the conversation rolls.  You’re invited to a Christmas bbq, drinks at someone’s house or Christmas lunch or dinner, you’re very excited & then with all good intentions, you hear yourself saying ….’l will bring a dessert’.

What were you thinking….. how on earth are you going to manage to make a dessert in between all the thousands of other things you have to do at the moment.  

Number 1, Don’t panic.

l’m going to share my ‘go to’ Christmas dessert recipe. (actually it’s not really a recipe, it’s a really quick & simple assembly) It always delights and it never fails.  Read on & you will see what l mean.

 My Christmas Panettone Berry Dessert.  

Strawberries

Blueberries

Raspberries

Blackberries

Panettone

Custard (can use brandy custard)

Flake (chocolate) – optional

Frangelico (liqueur – optional)

NB : The Amount of berries you buy is dependent on the size of the Panettone you buy.

You can also substitute fresh berries with mixed frozen berries but remember they will have excess liquid so you will need to drain them.

Set aside a small handful of mixed berries for the end.

Step 1 :

Wash your fresh berries & make sure they are dry.

 

Step 2

Slice your Panettone.

 

 Step 3

Select the beautiful serving platter you want to use.

 

Step 4

Lay slices of Panettone on the base of your platter.

Pour the custard over the top of the 1^st layer.

Layer some mixed berries on top.

If you’re adding Frangelico pour it over the berries & Panettone now.

If your adding chocolate flake – crumble it over the layer now.

 

   Step 5

Continue the layers until you’ve run out of Panettone or your platter can’t take anymore.

The last layer should be assorted berries on top.

 

Step 6

Grab the bowl of mixed berries you set aside earlier and place them around the base of the platter.

You can drizzle extra custard around the base if you want.

 

 

There you have it, my Christmas Panettone & Berry dessert….my go to dessert.

PS : It’s always better if you make it the day before your event because the Panettone has time to  absorb all the flavours.

 

Share it with family & friends & enjoy it.

 If anyone has time to make it, l would love to know how it goes.
