  • Place the panettone pieces around the sides of the basins, overlapping slightly, then pour some coffee over it and press against the sides.
  • Spoon ¼ of the vanilla ricotta in the centre, then cover with a piece of panettone. Spoon ¼ of the chocolate ricotta and cover with panettone. The basin should be completely full to the edge.

Notes

HINT AND TIPS:

This Panettone Zuccotto can be decorated simply with icing sugar or cocoa powder, but for extra indulgence, try some warm chocolate sauce!
If it is not coming out of the basin, simply slide the blade of a small knife on the side and let some air in to the bottom; this will do the trick!
For a better taste, bring it to room temperature before serving.
