Tiramisu Panettone - THE Ultimate Italian Cake For Christmas

The festive season in Italy is deeply rooted in culinary tradition, where shared meals and iconic bakes take centre stage. Few creations capture the romance of Italian baking quite like panettone and tiramisu. By bringing these two legends together, Carluccio's creates a show-stopping centrepiece for Christmas.

A Tale of Two Legends: Panettone & Tiramisù

The story of panettone reaches back centuries to Milan, where legend speaks of a young baker named Toni who crafted a tall, rich bread sweetened with dried fruits to win over his love. Over generations, Milanese bakers perfected this complex art of slow, natural leavening, creating the airy, golden dome that now symbolises Christmas throughout Italy.

Tiramisù—translating literally to "pick me up"—has a more recent yet equally passionate history. Originating in the Veneto region, this world-famous dessert was crafted by pairing rich mascarpone cream with espresso-soaked ladyfingers and a splash of sweet Marsala. It quickly became an undisputed icon of Italian hospitality.

Panettone al gusto Tiramisù

Our limited-edition Panettone al gusto Tiramisù stands as a tribute to Veneto's most beloved dessert. Made by our long-standing Pandoro producer in Veneto, each cake is naturally leavened using traditional Lievito Madre.

• The Aromatic Dough: Fragrant, delicate coffee notes are infused directly throughout the soft, buttery dough during the initial baking process.

• Slow Cooling: After baking, the panettone is left to cool completely before filling—a crucial step that ensures the crumb retains its light, fluffy texture.

• The Velvet Center: Once cooled, the cake is generously filled with a smooth, sweet mascarpone cream delicately laced with fine Marsala.

A Festive Tribute to Tiramisù

This limited-edition bake brings together all the flavours that make tiramisu so irresistible: rich coffee, silky mascarpone, and light, buttery cake reimagined through the heritage of Italian panettone.

Rich enough to be served as a grand finale to a Christmas feast, enjoy it generously by the slice paired alongside a steaming morning espresso. For a distinctly Venetian celebration, serve it to guests with a chilled glass of Prosecco.
