What is panettone and why is it used in this trifle?

Panettone is Italy’s beloved Christmas cake, a tall, airy bread with a light sweetness and citrus peel. Unlike heavy fruit cake, it’s soft and delicate. In this trifle, Davide uses it instead of sponge, giving the dessert its signature Italian character and festive charm.

Can I serve this trifle outside of Christmas?

Yes. While panettone is tied to Christmas tradition in Italy, this trifle is just as fitting for New Years, birthdays, dinner parties, or summer entertaining.

How far in advance can I prepare this dessert?

The trifle arrives frozen. Defrost in the fridge overnight before serving. Once thawed, it stays fresh for 2–3 days. For a polished look, transfer to a trifle bowl before thawing, then top with whipped cream and fruit just before serving.

An Italian Twist on the Classic Trifle

“Panettone for me as an Italian has a big meaning when it comes to Christmas. A Christmas without panettone isn’t Christmas. It’s my favourite cake during the festivities, even before or after Christmas. This is my trifle with an Italian twist!” – Davide

Davide’s panettone trifle is a celebration dessert that combines authentic Italian tradition with the indulgence of a layered trifle. Fluffy panettone, Italy’s iconic Christmas cake, is layered with creamy mascarpone custard, tart raspberries, tropical passionfruit, and juicy mango.

Designed for effortless entertaining, this frozen trifle is make-ahead convenient and ready to impress. Simply thaw in the fridge and serve straight from its container or transfer to your own trifle bowl for a personal touch.

Perfect for Christmas lunch, festive gatherings, or birthdays, it’s a restaurant-quality dessert that takes the stress out of entertaining. Davide recommends topping it with fresh whipped cream and extra fruit just before serving for a final flourish that makes it look as good as it tastes.

About Your Cook

Hi, I'm Davide

"I am the quintessential Italian chef! Born and raised in Venice, Italy, I trained and worked in some of the worlds most delectable restaurants in the world. But all this “professional” knowledge pales in comparison to the lessons I learnt from my Mamma and Nonna!

Food is life and everything revolves around food, however, cooking for others is my true passion. I enjoy making classic Italian dishes and am excited to experiment and revitalise traditional meals with new ingredients."
