Preparation

Step 1

Place the mascarpone and sugar in a medium mixing bowl.

Use an electric mixer to beat for 1 minute or until sugar dissolves. Stir in the liqueur. Depending on the type of mascarpone cheese, you might have to add 2-3 tablespoon of cream to make the mascarpone cream smoother.

You can serve the mascarpone either on top of the Panettone slice or aside, decorating with some mandarin or orange zest.

Put in a glass jar and refrigerate.

Note: Panettone should be served warm. In Italy it is customary to set it on the radiator for half an hour or so before serving.
