Panettone Fruity Misu Cake
This fragrant and very Italian style dessert is to die for. Who knew Panettone could be so good? I love it. I will be making it again. Which is rare.
I love a beautiful Italian panettone at the best of times. But when I was asked to create something even more delicious using panettone by the importers of all fine foods Italian themselves, the European Food Wholesalers, of course I was up for the challenge. Here it is. I don’t mind saying, YUM. You could make little individual cakes if you had the spring form tins, and some patience. VERY cute on a grazing table. Otherwise, still spectacular as a centrepiece on your dessert table!
Buon Natale!

Do
- 1
Line the base of a 16cm round spring form tin with baking paper.
- 2
Open the panettone and peel off the paper completely. Slice off 3 x 8cm thick round starting from the base of the cake and place the bottom layer into the lined tin. Brush with some Amaretto.
- 3
Meanwhile, place egg white into the Thermomix bowl and whip 4 min/37º/Butterfly/speed 3.
- 4
Add 30g sugar 1 teaspoon at a time through the hole in the lid. Remove from the Thermomix bowl into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- 5
Without cleaning, place egg yolks, 70g sugar and a splash of Amaretto or orange juice into the Thermomix bowl and whip 4 min/37°C/Butterfly/speed 3.
- 6
Cool slightly before adding in the very cold mascarpone, vanilla bean paste and orange oil. Whip until holding soft peaks, 20-40 sec/Butterfly/speed 4. Mascarpone will whip faster than cream, so be careful. Do not over whip or the mascarpone may split.
- 7
Add Fruity Pear Mince and mascarpone mix to egg whites and fold through gently using a large metal spoon or spatula.
- 8
Top the first layer of panettone with plenty of the mascarpone mixture. Press another round of the cake on top, pushing the filling down the sides if there is a gap between the circumference of your cake and tin. Brush that layer with Amaretto as well, top with mixture and repeat with final layer.
- 9
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Longer is OK as the flavours will deepen over time.
