An adapted recipe from a yellowing Woman and Home Christmas edition, this is a fab dessert for chocolate lovers and can be assembled in just 30 minutes! I’ve supplemented Tia Maria instead of rum to give it a coffee ‘Tiramisu’ likeness, but you could add Gran Marnier for an orange twist, stick with the brandy, or add any liqueur that takes your fancy!
I used a 12 x 10″ dish to serve this in which served six and left me with enough leftovers to savour for a couple of days!
Ingredients: (Serves 10)
400g dark chocolate (broken)
600ml double cream
60g butter
100g sugar
3tbsp Tia Maria (or other liqueur)
2 eggs (whisked)
1 (500g) chocolate chip panettone
Method:
1. Heat the butter, sugar, cream, chocolate and liqueur in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture has fully combined. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.
2. Cut the panettone into slices approx 1cm thick. Cut these in half diagonally to form triangles and layer in an ovenproof dish.
3. Add the eggs to the chocolate mix once slightly cooled and stir through. Pour the chocolate sauce over the bread and leave to soak. Cover and chill in the fridge until needed.
4. Heat in an oven at 150°C for 30 minutes and serve the piping hot chocolate dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. Heaven!
Happy Christmas all! x
