What's your favorite? I'm making Pannetone bread pudding with Amaretto cream sauce. Filling and yummy.

|That sounds gorgeous. I love Pannetone and Amaretto too !

Can't go wrong with that combo. I could eat the entire pannetone by myself!!

I usually make a Trifle. I use the Silver Palate recipe.
It can be made a couple days in advance.
It involves homemade custard, broken up amaretti, pound cake,some sherry, strawberries, and whipped cream.
Sometimes I do plum pudding with hard sauce. I use the Joy of Cooking recipe for that.

Whats a Pannetonne?

[LaceyEx]

Pannetone-is almost a cake/bread like loaf. It's Italian-with dried fruit-it's found in specialty stores-sometime Costco-and usually this time of year.

That sounds so good! I,too, love Pannetone! Would you share the recipe or is it your secret recipe? Have you ever made French toast with Pannetone? It's yummy!

Nikzone-No problem. Cut Pannetone into 1" cubes and put in buttered casserole. Mix 8 eggs, 1 1/2 c heavy cream, 2 1/2 c milk, 1 1/4 c sugar. Pour over Pannetone. Let sit at least 30 min and push cubes down occassionally. Bake 350 for 45 min.
Sauce- 1/2 c milk, 1/2 c whipping cream, 3T sugar, 1/4 c Amaretto, 2 tsp cornstarch.
Hope you enjoy!
