Altomonte’s Recipe

Looking for a no-bake, fast, but absolutely WOW holiday dessert? This Christmas Tree Pandoro comes together in minutes using Altomonte’s cannoli filling. Add fresh berries and a pineapple star on top for an extra festive touch.

Ingredients:

•   1 Pandoro
•   Altomonte’s cannoli filling
•   Powdered sugar
•   Optional: Fresh berries (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries)
•   Optional: Pineapple slice cut into a star for the topper

Instructions:

1.   Slice the pandoro horizontally into 5–6 star-shaped layers.
2.   Place the largest slice on a serving platter. Spread a generous layer of cannoli cream on top.
3.   Add fresh berries on the cream if you’d like extra color and freshness.
4.   Stack the next slice on top, rotating slightly so the points alternate to form a tree shape. Add more cream and optional berries.
5.   Repeat with remaining slices, building your “tree.”
6.   Dust the entire cake with powdered sugar for a snowy finish.
7.   Top with a pineapple star, if using.
8.   Chill for 20–30 minutes, slice, and serve.
