The ingredients for the Italian Christmas dessert
The main ingredients for this dessert are the classic ingredients for a tiramisu. You need eggs, espresso, vin santo and mascarpone. Only the ladyfingers are replaced by panettone.
Panettone is a typical Christmas cake in Italy. It is a huge round dome made from yeast dough, which is baked with extra butter, eggs and various fillings. It comes in versions with chocolate, dessert wine or candied fruit. The special feature is the light, fluffy consistency.
Mascarpone is an important ingredient alongside panettone. Pure white mascarpone is a heavy cream cheese. It tastes really rich and super, super creamy with a brilliant melt-in-the-mouth texture. When mascarpone is whipped with eggs and sugar, it makes the most delicious dessert cream.
The Vin Santo gives the Schichpanettone a special aroma. It is an intense dessert wine that tastes of dried fruit with honey and lots of spices. Together with the coffee, the Vin Santo provides the typical tiramisu flavor.
