Years ago, I mean YEARS ago, somewhere in a magazine I saw a picture of a store bought Panettone that was stuffed with pistachio cream, I have always keep that in my memory bank for something I wanted to try, since Hubby loves Panettone.
Well today, friends called and I invited them to stop by later for coffee. Of course it’s never just coffee! I had to have something to go with it. So I went into my pantry and there sat a box of Panettone, and I instantly recalled the stuffed one I had seen in an Italian magazine years ago. I even had some shelled pistachios! So I got on my computer and googled pistachio pudding, found something that sounded good ,so I quickly whipped it up, because it had to cool down for a couple of hours. When it finally cooled I folded in some freshly whipped cream!! Oh so sinful!!!
I even got adventurous and spun a little sugar on top, as that is what was in the picture. Never having done that before, it really didn’t turn out, I wanted it to be like thin strands, but mine turned out like thick brittle!!! Oh well, I kept it on for the pictures anyway!
I sliced the Panettone in 5 sections, and lightly brushed some Amaretto on the layers for some added flavor.
It did take a little longer because of the pistachio cream, maybe Cannoli cream would be good with it??? All in all it turned out pretty good!!Have a great weekend!!!!!
I’m Marie, a wife, mother, mother-in-law, and gramma of two beautiful girls. My passion is food, clear and simple but especially Italian food, hence the name of my blog, Proud Italian Cook. I want you to feel right at home here so grab a cup of coffee, I’ll get the pastries, take a look around and enjoy your visit! {
Marie, I know I have asked you before, but, please, may I come live with you? 🙂
Thanks lisa, I’m glad I found yours too! Lets not be strangers, since we are both from the good old state of Illinois!!!
I’m glad I found your blog—except that it’s making me crave all of your food so much I can hardly stand it! I can’t tell you how wonderful all of it looks (loved the ravioli, for one).
Anyway. I love panettone, even though the only kind I’ve ever had is store-bought. I’ve actually entertained thoughts of trying to make one this holiday season. It won’t be as fancy as this one with the pistachio cream, but I hope it’ll turn out well. My husband would adore it, I know.
lori lynn, Panettone triffle sounds gooood! Thanks for your comments!
Great idea! I made a trifle out of Panettone last year. I will definitely try this. Your photo is great, showing all those layers…Thanks!
sognatrice, Hi and welcome! It’s not something you would eat every day, but its for a treat!!!
I have to say that normally I find panettone dry and blah, but this? This I could get excited about 🙂
Lor, You definately couldn’t eat this everyday! It’s much to dangerous!! I like it plain too!
Rob,Hi and welcome! Your comment made me crack up!!! Enjoy your Pannetonne!!
I started to hyperventilate when I saw the first picture, all but passed out on the second.
I did not know dessert could actually induce that sort of reaction on sight but evidently it can.
Guess who is going shopping for pannetone tomorrow…
Love panettone – this looks “yum”, lots of people use it for bread and butter pudding in Ireland!! I just eat it plain and simple but this could sway me:)
Piccolina, Welcome! and yes it was rich and tasty!!!
Susan in Italy, Pistachio butter!!Ohhhh that sounds good!! Thanks for stopping by!
Hey that sounds great. I once tried a jar of pistachio butter (sweet and like a pistachio nutella without the chocolate). I’m imagining your dessert as that on panettone, wow!
that looks sooo ymooo , i bet it’s too stonge and rich in the taste
LU
m&ms, I thought so too! I guess you could use your imagination to fill it with whatever you want! Thanks for stopping by!
Maryann, Me too!!!I used Amaretto, cause that’s what I had on hand, but probably other ones would be good also.
UJ, Thats why I didn’t invite you! (ha ha), remember there’s a wedding!!!!!
Wow’HOW in the Hell can I stay on A Diet Looking at your Blog UJ

Nice Idea!
