  • About

Panettone, a very famous christmas treat, is now no longer confined to Italy or to Christmas. Many bakeries make panettone all year round. In the unlikely scenario you are ever fed up with it after the holidays, this recipe comes to the rescue as a quick way of using stale or leftover panettone slices.

Ingredients

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 80 g sugar
  • 100 ml passito

Method

To make the sabayon, whisk the yolks and sugar together in a heatproof bowl then add the wine. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water on a low heat and cook in the bain-marie (double boiler), constantly stirring for 6 to 7 minutes until hot and creamy (a thick, custardy consistency). It is important that the water doesn’t boil or touch the bottom of the bowl as it will scramble the eggs.
