PRESENTATION

Golden slices of Pandoro dessert layered with creamy Nutella turn every table into a festive spot families can't resist. Not just eye-catching—that pretty, fluffy texture grabs attention right away—this dessert brings out the BEST in holiday flavors, especially for folks looking for SWEET comfort around Christmas. Since Pandoro dessert celebrates the soft, light sponge cake Italians love, it looks just right for family gatherings or cheerful parties. Smooth ribbons of chocolate-hazelnut blend with the moist cake in every bite...kids and adults usually go for seconds.Since the rich look and easy serving style work at any get-together, these cups often make busy holidays just a little more fun (and honestly—they don’t last long on the table). Displayed with other Nutella recipes and sparkly sprinkles, they look nice and always get families talking. Great for sharing—especially if you want something that FEELS festive yet still tastes homemade. Even picky guests go for the soft cake layers and creamy sweetness, so it’s never a bad pick for celebrations.

Busy home cooks like this no-bake dessert since it means less stress but more smiles (that’s a win in my book). Having easy sweets during the holidays…that’s something everyone can use, right? Versatility is KIND OF the secret power here: toss in fresh fruit, a handful of nuts, or switch things up with extra toppings, and every batch feels special. These holiday cups also make dessert simple for potlucks, after-dinner treats, or spontaneous family nights around the tree. Whether you line up several on a platter for guests or pace out individual portions for kids (they love their own little cup), the dessert stays pretty and reliable every time. Because the Pandoro dessert allows for new flavors and ideas, home bakers get both creative freedom and real family appeal (bonus: no last-minute kitchen chaos). People remember these visually rich layers with creamy filling—definitely a reason this dessert keeps coming back, year after year, at holiday tables everywhere.

How to prepare Cups of pandoro, cream and Nutella®

To make the cups of pandoro, cream, and Nutella®, pour the milk into a saucepan 1, and heat it over low heat until it is about to boil. In a bowl, place the egg yolks and pour the sugar 2, then mix with a whisk and when the sugar is absorbed, add the sifted cornflour through a sieve 3; mix the powders well.

In the meantime, remove the saucepan from the heat and slightly temper the beaten eggs with a ladle of hot milk 4. Mix well, then put the saucepan with the milk back on the heat and pour in the egg mixture 5. Continue to cook slowly and always stirring the cream with a whisk, until it thickens 6, it will take about 10-15 minutes.

Once ready, transfer the cream into a bowl, cover the cream with a sheet of baking paper so that it is in contact with the surface of the cream 7, at this point to cool it faster, place the bowl inside a larger container filled with ice to create a sort of cold bain-marie 8. Pour the fresh liquid cream (well chilled) into a bowl and whip it with electric whisks 9

until it is frothy 10. Add the whipped cream to the now cold cream 11 and gently mix with a spatula from the bottom up to avoid deflating the mixture 12; continue until all the cream is gradually mixed in.

Transfer the obtained cream into a pastry bag with a 10 mm plain nozzle (13-14-15) and place it in the refrigerator.

Cut the slices of pandoro into pieces, adjusting them based on the shape of your glasses (we used 7 oz glasses) 16. Everything is ready to assemble the desserts: place 2-3 pieces of pandoro on the bottom of the glass 17, soak with coffee 18,

then squeeze a small portion of cream 19. Also, transfer Nutella® into a pastry bag with a 6 mm nozzle and squeeze a small portion into the glass 20, continue by alternating layers of cream and Nutella® to create a marbled effect. Fill the cups to the brim and then serve immediately 21!

Storage

The cups of pandoro with cream and Nutella® can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days. You can freeze the cream and, if necessary, thaw it in the refrigerator and use it.
