Description
This flat, yet airy, panettone contains familiar ingredients — raisins, pine nuts, candied fruit — though it forgoes the yeast and cupola shape typical of the Christmas cake. Rum is incorporated into the batter for a kick. It should be cooled completely before serving. Store, well-wrapped, at room temperaturefor up to a week. It can also be tightly wrapped and frozen for up to a month.

- 50 grams heavy cream

Directions
- 1Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler with the heavy cream and let the mixture cool slightly.

These are heavenly little desserts. They take time to get them to look really nice for serving. You don't want to hurry, or they will turn out messy. I will make them again for the next special occasion.
