Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180C. Place the cherries, caster sugar, cinnamon, star anise and vanilla in a roasting pan. Drizzle with orange juice and sprinkle with orange zest. Gently toss to combine. Bake for 20 mins or until the cherries start to soften and the syrup thickens slightly. Set aside to cool.
Step 2
Place the goat’s cheese in a medium bowl. Use a fork to mash until smooth. Gradually add the cream and whisk with a balloon whisk until soft peaks form. Add icing sugar and whisk to combine.
Step 3
Place the panettone on serving plates. Top each slice with a dollop of goat’s cheese mixture. Spoon over the roasted cherries and sprinkle with pistachios and mint.
