After bringing the English cream to 85°C remove from the fire let the cream cool to around 50°C and add in the gelatin sheets which were previously rehydrated in water then place in the fridge for a few minutes until the cream reaches around 20°C. Then add the cubed panettone and the whipped cream being careful to mix lightly from the bottom to the top.
Mikado di cacao

Place all the ingredients in a pot bringing to a boil for at least 10 minutes. Pour this mixture into a pastry bag and make thin lines on a baking try covered with wax paper then place in the oven at 190°C for 4 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Assembly
Cut 4 thin slices of panettone and line up 4 rings measuring 7cm in diameter and 5cm in height, cut also 4 smaller circles to close the bottom of the rings then pour the bavarese inside and place into the fridge for at least 5 hours or until it reaches the right consistency.
Serve with a base of the sauce on the plate with the panettone bavarese on top and finally finishing with the Mikado cocoa.
The balanced sweetness of Ferrari’s Demi-Sec goes perfectly with this soft cake.
