This impressive Christmas centrepiece features a smooth, velvety semifreddo studded with candied peel and amaretti pieces, encased in slices of buttery panettone and topped with a generous helping of melted chocolate and nuts. Leftovers can be stored, covered, in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Remove from the freezer 20-30 mins before serving. For this recipe, we used a 2 litre pudding bowl.
