Berry and Cream Panettone

INGREDIENTS

A 500g ready made chocolate chip panettone

A 400g pack frozen mixed berries

300ml/10fl oz whipping cream

120g/4oz plain chocolate

1tbsp caster sugar

METHOD

Slice the panettone into 5 slices.

Save some of the nicer looking berries to decorate.

Place the rest of the berry mix into a bowl slicing any large ones.

Add the caster sugar to the berries.

Whip up the cream until it forms stiff peaks and carefully fold through the berries.

Spoon the cream/fruit mixture on the panettone slices and sandwich them to form a stack.

Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water.

Pour the chocolate over the top of the panettone.

Freeze for at least 4 hours.

Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving and decorate with the defrosted berries that were put to one side.

Slice to serve.

I made a smaller version using a 100g panettone and adjusting the amounts of the other ingredients. This is sufficient for 2-3 people.
