too rich and sweet for my taste, maybe it could do with out the sugar. The trifle overpowers the panettone.

I've made this several times...it's always a hit. But I agree it can be a bit dry. I use a bit less powdered sugar in the cheese layer and thin it with a little whole milk or cream. I also drizzle extra liquid onto the cake, usually a mixture of cold coffee and coffee liquor. And it's very important to bring the dessert to room temp before serving.

I was wondering...before I make this.. Some people think the panettone was a little dry. What about either making a whipped cream layer or a simple syrup maybe with a little coffee liquor mixed in? I know that if you sprinkle a simple syrup concoction to cake it will be more moist.
I'm going to have to think about this. I love panettone but it usually is a different texture than cake. More like a bread than a cake texture.
