PREPARATION

To make the panettone cake with Nutella start with the decoration of dried oranges (you can find the details of the preparation on our website; this decoration is optional). Then add the cream: pour 50 g of fresh liquid cream into a saucepan, add sugar 1 and powdered agar agar 2. Mix with a whisk and 3 and bring to the boil.

Then, turn off the heat and incorporate 225 g of Greek yoghurt 4, stir carefully then add the mixture obtained to the remaining dose of yoghurt 5, stir to mix well the cream 6, cover with contact film and let it cool and firm for about 10-15 minutes.

In the meantime, pour the remaining 200 g of cold, fresh liquid cream into a bowl and whip it with electric whips 7 until frothy. Now add the freshly whipped cream to the cream, now cold 8. Stir gently with a spatula, cover with film 9 and place in the fridge to firm for about 2 hours.

Toast two slices of panettone in a hot frying pan 10 until golden brown. After the firming time, take the cream out of the refrigerator to make the dessert. Fill a disc of panettone with half a dose of Nutella 11, spread it over the whole surface 12,

Then pour over 1/3 of the yoghurt cream and distribute it evenly 13. Now fill the second disc with the remaining dose of Nutella and overlap it with the other (the part with Nutella must remain at the top) 14. Finish by covering the entire surface with the remaining yoghurt cream 15, spatula for a snowy landscape effect.

Now proceed with the decoration: plant two rosemary twigs laterally, positioning them with the tips of the needles facing downwards, so as to simulate small pines. Now apply the two slices of dried oranges 16 and finish with a sprinkling of icing sugar 17. Your spectacular panettone cake with Nutella is ready to be brought to the table 18.
