Yumi and Simon catch up with each others' Christmas plans and while Simon will be a guest at someone else's soiree on Christmas Eve, he plans to bring this amazing Panettone ice-cream dessert which will be both AMAZING, and really easy to make!
Allow 1L of your best quality vanilla ice-cream to soften on the bench for 10 mins.
Meanwhile, crumble up a 300g mixture of inside soft bits and outside crusty bits of the Panettone you have that's getting a bit tired.
Stir these through the ice-cream, along with half a cup of chopped nuts, eg., pistachios, half a cup of dark chocolate chips, and a quarter to half a cup of glacé fruit like cedro. Add half a teaspoon of orange zest and a splash of amaretto.
Smoosh it into a lined loaf tin and smooth the top and get the whole thing back in the freezer.
TO SERVE:
Slice the loaf into neat slices. Garnish with crumbs of Panettone or, Simon's suggestion? Some microwave-softened PISTACHIO CREAM.
