Grilled Panettone With Strawberry Ice Cream And Almonds Recipes

HOLIDAY PANETTONE

Steps:

• Empty the Holiday Panettone mix (recipe follows) into a bowl. Heat 1 cup whole milk, 1 stick butter, 1/4 cup honey and 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest to 120 degrees in a saucepan; stir into the mix. Mix in 2 lightly beaten eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Butter two 5-by-9-inch loaf pans or two empty 10-ounce coffee cans and line with parchment paper. Add the dough; cover and let rise 1 hour. Bake at 350 degrees until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Cool before slicing.

PANETTONE TRIFLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cut off the top third of the panettone. Remove the insides of the bread by running a small paring knife around the edge of the loaf, leaving a 1-inch wall. Pull out the fluffy inside of the bread, leaving the base intact. Tear the insides into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. You should have about 2 cups of bread pieces. Place the pieces on a small rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with half of the butter. Toss well to coat. Place the shell on a separate rimmed baking sheet and drizzle the remaining butter over the sides and bottom of the loaf. Place both baking sheets in the oven. Bake the bread pieces, stirring half way through, until golden brown and toasted, about 12 minutes. Remove the bread pieces to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Continue to bake the shell until lightly toasted and golden brown, about 8 minutes longer. Remove to paper towels to cool completely.
• Combine the heavy cream, mascarpone, sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl. Beat on high using a handheld mixer until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
• Place the shell on a serving plate. Layer in half of the bread pieces, half of the raspberries and oranges and a dollop of one-third of the whipped cream. Repeat with most of the remaining bread and fruit and finish with a large dollop of cream in the center and a few extra crumbs. Serve with additional cream on the side.

PANETTONE TRIFLE

Steps:

• To make the trifle: Using an electric mixer, beat the mascarpone, melted chocolate, powdered sugar, and espresso powder in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy.
• Divide half of the panettone cubes among 6 wine glasses or old-fashioned glasses. Sprinkle half of the coffee liqueur over the panettone. Top with half of the mascarpone mixture. Repeat layering with the remaining panettone, liqueur, and mascarpone mixture. (The trifles can be prepared 1 day ahead, covered and refrigerated. Let come to room temperature before serving.)
• To serve, sprinkle with the chocolate shavings. Serve immediately.
