    Stir 2-3 tablespoons of cream cheese mixture into the gelatine. Stir everything into the remaining cream cheese mixture. Put it in a cold place. As soon as the cream starts to gel, whip cream until stiff and fold in. In the meantime put 5 apricots aside for decoration. Chop the remaining apricots and knead with 75 g marzipan and 50 g hazelnuts. Form into a roll (approx. 29 cm long) and roll through approx. 30 g hazelnuts. Press on a little bit. Rinse the saddle of venison (length approx. 30 cm) with cold water. Fill in the cream, press in the marzipan roll and cover with the cream. Cover the cream with butter biscuits. Chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
