A yummy Coffee Panettone! Panettone made with cream of coffee is a little treat, a product that combines sweetness with the aroma of coffee at its finest.
In short, a true delicacy to try at Christmas time. So, let’s take a look at how to prepare an excellent Panettone with Coffee Cream!

How to make Coffee Panettone
Making Coffee Panettone is not exactly simple. It takes some patience to make a quality dough that will then need to rise for a fair while to obtain that magnificent honeycomb effect that characterises the Lombard sweet. Once ready, the Panettone can then be filled with a delicious Coffee Cream.
You can choose to fill the Panettone by cutting it into slices or even better, insert the cream into the dough with a piping bag before baking or even once the sweet has cooled. But let’s explore together the entire procedure for preparing a nice Panettone with Coffee Cream.

Ingredients and preparation of the Coffee Cream
There are various ways of making the Coffee Cream. Some might prefer more of a coffee custard, whilst others opt for a filling made with delicious mascarpone. We chose to go for the second option. For a delicious mascarpone Coffee Cream, you will need:
• 250 g Mascarpone
• 250 ml Fresh cream
• 3 tbsp Powdered sugar
• 1 Espresso coffee from a capsule or 1 shot from a moka
To make the Coffee Cream, all you have to do is whip the mascarpone with the addition of icing sugar.
After adding in the icing sugar, you can slowly pour in the coffee until achieving a very soft and smooth consistency. Once the coffee is in, whip the cream separately then add it to the mixture a bit at a time. Now that the cream has been added, your Coffee Cream is ready!

Ingredients and preparation of the first dough
The preparation of panettone involves making several doughs, which must rise for varying lengths of time before the finished cake can be made and baked in the oven.Before making the main dough, you must create the biga, the main leavening agent in the preparation.

To make the biga, you must use:
• 10g water
• 1g fresh brewer´s yeast
• 10g sugar
• 20g flour
Mix together until firm, then place the dough in a bowl and cover with cling film. Let it rise until it doubles in volume.
After preparing the biga, you can proceed to make the first dough. Preparation involves:
• biga
• 5g egg yolk
• 14g water
• 27g flour
• 2g sugar
Place all the ingredients in the planetary mixer and knead the dough until you obtain a smooth ball. Now let it rise until it triples in volume.

Ingredients and preparation of the second dough
After making the first dough, you can move on to the second and third. The second mixture requires:
• the first dough
• 50g of egg yolks
• 250g flour
• 85g sugar
• 75g butter
• 6g salt
• 125g sultanas
• 100g mixed candied fruit (to taste)
After adding all the ingredients, knead the dough in the food processor with a dough hook for at least six minutes or until the dough completely detaches from the bowl. Once you have a smooth and homogeneous mixture, let it rest in the bowl for 30 minutes.

Baking and storing Coffee Panettone
After this time has elapsed, transfer the dough inside its mould (a special panettone mould, 22 cm in diameter) and leave it to rise for at least 7-10 hours: the panettone should reach the rim.
After it has reached the edge, you can go and put the coffee cream in with a piping bag. Once the coffee cream has been added, you can bake the panettone in a preheated oven in static mode at 170°, on the medium-low setting, for at least 45 minutes.

Once cooked, take the panettone out of the oven, pierce it with two long irons (which must be placed so that you can put the cake upside down) and leave it to cool for at least three hours.
When it has cooled, you can put the previously prepared coffee cream inside the panettone (if not already put in pre-baked), again using the sac-a-poche.

You can store the panettone for a few days, inside its mould and covered with a plastic bag, in order to preserve its softness for longer.
