Panettone Tiramisu

If you're around an Italian table during the Holidays, there's no doubt you will find a fresh panettone at the centre of it. But this sweet bread – that is traditionally filled with raisins, dried fruits, citrus and/or nuts – is notorious for being gifted and regifted, or simply served to the point of exhaustion. There are over 117 million panettone (and pandoro, their similar cousin) made every year in Italy. Not to mention the Italian bakeries and brands in Canada, the United States, Australia and South America who produce them locally.
Instead of bringing another boxed or bagged cake to your Christmas dinner party – or letting them sit in the cantina until next year – why not wow friends and family by levelling up that tired panettone and using it in place of lady finger cookies to make another classic Italian dessert – tiramisu.
Here's how, courtesy of Roma-born, Toronto-based chef Gianluca Ruggieri.
Note: this recipe uses an entire panettone and makes a large tiramisu of approximately 16 servings. For something smaller, use half the ingredients listed.
Ingredients:
- 1 panettone or pandoro, cut into 1 inch thick slices
- 375ml (1 1/2 cups) strong brewed espresso, cooled
- 250g (12) egg yolks
- 400g (2 cups) sugar
- 2kg (four 8-ounce containers) mascarpone cheese
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions:
1. Start by making the espresso. Brew it strong and let it cool.
2. In a saucepan, add the sugar and turn the heat on low. Allow the sugar to melt and cook until it reaches a temperature of 118 °C (244.4 °F).
3. While the sugar is melting, start whisking the egg yolks in a separate bowl. Either by hand or on low-speed of a mixer.
4. Once the sugar reaches the desired temperature, slowly pour it into egg yolks while whisking continuously on high speed. Continue whisking until the mixture becomes thick and pale yellow in color.
5. In a large bowl, stir the mascarpone until smooth and add egg yolk mixture and mix it together until well combined and smooth.
6. In a large pan or serving dish scoop 4-5 spoonfuls of the mascarpone and egg cream into the bottom and spread.
7. Brush each slice of panettone with the cooled espresso, making sure to cover each side thoroughly.
8. Layer the soaked panettone slices followed by a generous layer of the mascarpone cream in the dish. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of cream on top.
9. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
10. Dust the top with cocoa powder, serve chilled and enjoy!

I came across Priest Alaska and decided to seek his guidance. I shared my story openly and explained how much I wanted to win back my wife and save our marriage. He listened patiently and made me feel understood just as I was going through one of the hardest times of my life. Over time, and thanks to the work Priest Alaska did, I began to notice changes in my situation. The distance between my wife and me started to close, communication became more frequent, and the coldness that had existed between us gradually faded away. Then came the moment I had longed for: my wife returned to me and was willing to give our marriage another chance. Having my wife back in my life means more to me than words can express. Now we are moving forward step by step, rebuilding our connection and creating a better future. My experience reminded me that when a relationship goes through a rough patch, it is important not to lose hope. Seeking guidance and spiritual support can help you find a positive path forward.

After months of heartbreak and believing my marriage was over, I never imagined my partner and I would ever be together again. I had almost lost hope until I found Father Alaska online. Although initially skeptical, I decided to contact him and explain everything that had happened between us. He listened attentively, without judgment, asked thoughtful questions about our relationship, and gave me clear spiritual guidance. I followed all his instructions with faith and patience. To my surprise, shortly after, my partner contacted me. We had a heartfelt conversation, he apologized for everything that had happened, and we decided to rebuild our marriage together. I know every situation is different, but this was my personal experience, and I am grateful for the support I received. If you would like to contact Father Alaska, here is his information:
