Time 12m

Number Of Ingredients 8

500g boxed fruity panettone (or try a chocolate version)
500g tub mascarpone
zest 1 orange
2 tbsp caster sugar
silver balls , to decorate (optional)
juice 2 oranges , zest of 1
2 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp Grand Marnier

Steps:

  • Make the syrup first. Gently heat all the ingredients together until the sugar dissolves, then boil for 1 min or until just thickened. Leave to cool.
  • Meanwhile, trim the rounded top off the panettone (this is cook's perks for later!), then cut the rest into 4 horizontal slices using a serrated knife. Beat the mascarpone, orange zest and caster sugar together.
  • Stack up the slices, drizzling a little of the orange syrup over each piece as you go, and using about 2 tbsp of the mascarpone to sandwich each layer together. Once you've finished stacking, cover with the rest of the mascarpone in swirls and whirls - a palette knife is the best tool for the job. Scatter with a few silver balls if you like, then serve straight away, or chill for up to 2 hrs, then scatter with the balls at the last minute.
