Leftover panettone can be put to great use! Here is my recipe for cherry, chocolate, and pistachio 'zuccotto'.

Cut another horizontal slice off the top. Slice remaining panettone vertically; cut each vertical slice in half.Mix ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, pistachio nuts, candied fruit, sugar, and dark chocolate together to make the filling. Mix in cherries to create a marbled effect.Lay the top panettone slice in the bottom of the mold. Sprinkle vin santo on top.
