Today, however, we offer it in a new version: it is a different way of bringing the panettone, but also an idea of recycling when the holidays are over. It is a dessert that may seem very difficult in appearance, but in reality it is prepared in a few minutes and with very few ingredients. The great figure is insured!

Roll out a sheet of cling film on one floor and arrange six slightly overlapping slices to each other to form a rectangle, then three above and three below.
With a rolling pin roll them out a little and then wet them with milk or coffee or with a liqueur of your choice between rum and alchermes.
Separately prepare the cream by mixing 350 g of cow's ricotta well sifted, with 4 spoons of sugar is 100 g of dark chocolate chips.
Spread the cream on the panettone base and then roll up on the short side. The roll must be long.
Help yourself to wrap it using plastic wrap. Close it well e put it in the refrigerator for an hour.
Once firmed, cover it with one chocolate ganache prepared by melting 200 g of dark chocolate in about 100 ml of hot cream.
Pour everything on the roll, wait for the ganache to solidify a little and then put everything away in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
