Ingredients

Method

1.

Combine dried fruit, brandy and vanilla in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, until brandy is absorbed. Transfer to a bowl, add panettone and mixed spice, then mix to combine.

2.

Combine 300g of the white chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan and gently melt over a low heat. Stir in fruit mixture, then spoon into a 22cm ring mould lined with plastic wrap. Press down firmly, then refrigerate for 2 hours, until firm. 

3.

Heat remaining chocolate and cream in a bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water, whisk well and then set aside to cool slightly. Unmould the pudding wreath onto a platter and spoon over white chocolate sauce. Garnish with cherries and rosemary to serve.

Cook’s tip

Mixed fruit can be bought ready to use, but you can also make it using a combo of figs, glace cherries, cranberries, peaches and peel.
