Panettone, chocolate and marshmallow melts
An irresistible slice of seasonal decadence. Makes 8
Ingredients
1 large panettone, cut into 8 x 1cm-thick slices 100g unsalted butter, softened Amaretto for sprinkling
2 x 100g thin blocks of good dark chocolate 12 white marshmallows, halved 30g icing sugar 1tsp ground cinnamon
1 Trim edges of each slice of panettone so that you have eight neat 10 x 10cm squares. Cut each square in half to form sixteen smaller 5 x 10cm rectangles. Liberally butter one side of each piece.
2 Lay a piece of cling-fi lm on a clean work surface and place eight panettone slices, buttered side down, on the wrap. Sprinkle a little Amaretto over the top.
3 Use a very sharp knife dipped
in hot water and cut each block of the chocolate into four wide strips; lay one piece on each panettone fi nger, then add three marshmallow pieces along length of chocolate. Top with another piece of panettone, buttered side up, to make a sandwich. You should end up with eight small sandwiches in total.
4 Heat large frying pan over medium heat. Carefully lift each sandwich, making
sure fi lling doesn’t fall out, and cook for two to three minutess on each side, turning them over with care, or until pannettone is golden and crisp and both chocolate and
marshmallows have melted.
5 Remove from pan to serving platter.
6 Mix icing sugar with cinnamon and sift over hot sandwiches. Serve immediately.
