Fitness Truffled Panettone and How to Make Money with the Recipe
Changes to the Fitness Recipe
For the fitness version of Truffled Panettone, we will make some substitutions to make it lighter, without losing the delicious flavor and soft texture that all panettone should have.
1. Milk chocolate:
Replace the milk chocolate with 70% or higher dark chocolate. Dark chocolate has less sugar and is rich in antioxidants, making the recipe healthier.
2. Heavy cream:
Use light heavy cream or light coconut cream. Both are lighter versions of regular heavy cream, with fewer calories and fat.
3. Nuts:
You can keep the nuts, as they are rich in good fats and proteins. If you want, you can also add almonds or Brazil nuts for variety.
4. Dried fruits:
Dried fruits can be replaced with unsweetened dried fruits (such as unsweetened apricots, dates, or raisins), making the panettone healthier and with fewer calories.
5. Panettone:
If possible, look for a whole-wheat panettone or prepare a homemade healthy panettone using whole-wheat flour, coconut sugar, or another natural sweetener, and olive oil or ghee instead of traditional butter.
Fitness Truffled Panettone
Ingredients:
1 whole-wheat panettone or homemade fit panettone (500g), 1/2kg of 70% or higher dark chocolate (chopped), 1 can of light cream or light coconut cream, 1 cup (tea) of nuts (or almonds, Brazil nuts), 1 cup (tea) of dried fruit (such as dates, apricots, or unsweetened raisins).
Preparation method:
Prepare the Panettone: Cut a lid off the panettone and remove the core, leaving a wall of about 2 cm. Set the core aside.
Make the Truffle: Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie, stirring until it is well melted and smooth. Add the light cream (or light coconut cream) and mix well. Add the chopped nuts (or chestnuts) and mix until everything is well incorporated.
Mix with the Crumb: Reserve 1 cup of the chocolate mixture and mix the rest with half of the crumbled panettone crumb. Mix until a thick, creamy paste forms.
Assemble the Truffled Panettone: Fill the cavity of the panettone with the chocolate and crumb mixture, pressing down firmly to compact the filling. Replace the lid of the panettone and cover with the reserved chocolate mixture on top.
Finish and Cool: Decorate with dried fruit and refrigerate for 2 hours, so that the truffle sets and the panettone is very cold.
