  • 200 g Walnut kernels
  • 325 g Butter
  • 500 g Flour
  • 1 package Baking Powder

  • 1 package Vanillin sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 TEASPOON Christmas Stollen Spice
  • 2 Eggs (size M)
  • 250 g Low-fat curd
  • 75 g Amarettini
  • 200 g Icing sugar
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour
  • baking paper
  • 7-10 Tbsp Amarettini and walnut halves

Directions

  1. 1

    Roughly chop the apricots. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with liqueur. Coarsely chop the walnuts. Put 125 g butter in flakes, flour, baking powder, sugar, vanillin sugar, salt, stollen spice, eggs and quark in a mixing bowl and knead with the dough hooks of the hand mixer to a smooth dough.

  2. 2

    Knead the apricots and nuts. Then place them on a well floured work surface, press them flat a little, spread Amarettini evenly on top and carefully knead in. Divide the dough into three equal parts.

  3. 3

    Roll out each piece of dough into a rectangle (approx. 25x15 cm) on well floured work surfaces. Then form into a stollen. Place the stollen on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven (electric range: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 55-65 minutes.

  4. 4

    If necessary, cover the stollen after about 35 minutes of baking time. Then remove from the oven and place on a grid. Melt 200 g butter, spread thinly on the still warm stollen and dust with a little icing sugar.

  5. 5

    Repeat the process several times. Decorate as desired before serving with amarettini and walnut halves.
