How to prepare Pandoro filled with Nutella Ice Cream

To prepare the pandoro filled with NUTELLA Ice Cream, first cut the top of the pandoro about 1.5 inches high 1. Using the blade of a long serrated knife, hollow out the inside of the pandoro to create a cavity approximately the same size as the tub of NUTELLA Ice Cream 2. Transfer the pandoro to the serving plate, then remove the ice cream packaging and place it inside the cavity 3.

Cover the pandoro with the top 4, then dust the surface with powdered sugar 5 and garnish with berries 6. Let the pandoro filled with NUTELLA ice cream sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving and slicing!

Storage

It is recommended to consume the pandoro filled with NUTELLA Ice Cream immediately.
