Difficulty People Time
Simple 8 120 minuti
Ingredients
1 pandoro
400 g UHT Ricotta Cheese Sterilgarda
1 orange
250 g dark chocolate
150 g whipping cream Sterilgarda
150 g shelled walnuts
Preparation
  1. Mix together, in a bowl, the Sterilgarda ricotta and 100 grams of icing sugar.
  2. Add 100 grams of dark chocolate, cut into flakes, the shelled walnuts and the grated zest of an orange.
  3. Now cut the pandoro, removing the tip, obtaining 4 star-shaped slices approximately 1 cm thick.
  4. Cut the 2 medium slices in half, thus obtaining 4 pieces of pointed pandoro.
  5. Place the smaller slice on the bottom of a bowl to form the base of the zuccotto.
  6. Use the remaining halved slices to create a sort of wall to line the inside of the mold.
  7. Fill with the ricotta and chocolate filling.
  8. Level carefully and close with the largest slice without the tips.
  9. Wrap everything in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for about 2 hours.
  10. Once ready, gently turn the zuccotto upside down onto a rack placed on a plate.
  11. Brush with orange juice and put back in the fridge.
  12. Prepare the topping by melting the remaining dark chocolate in a bain-marie. When it is completely melted, turn off the stove and add the fresh cream, continuing to mix until the mixture is smooth and dense.
  13. Cover the zuccotto with the cream obtained, leveling it, if necessary, with a spatula.
