Use up leftover panettone in this easy Christmas semifreddo recipe. Rich mascarpone, whipped cream, Kirsch-soaked cherries and chocolate panettone come together for a dessert that looks and tastes impressive but is very easy to make. Better yet, it can be prepped ahead and stored in the freezer, ready to be adorned with chocolate shavings and served to lots of ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ from your guests.
