Ingredients

Servings: 1
  • 250 g dried figs
  • 250 g Butter or margarine
  • 250 g Low-fat curd
  • 175 g Sugar
  • 1 package Vanillin sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Peel of 1 untreated orange
  • 1 egg (size M)
  • 500 g Flour
  • 1 package Baking Powder
  • 125 g chopped almonds
  • 150 g Candied orange peel
  • 150 g Orange marmalade
  • 400 g Marzipan raw mass
  • 250 g Icing sugar
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour and icing sugar
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the figs into pieces. Melt the fat in a pot. Put curd, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, orange peel, egg and the melted fat in a bowl and mix with the whisk of the hand mixer.

  2. 2

    Mix flour, baking powder and almonds and stir into the quark mixture in portions. Add figs and candied orange peel and mix in with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface into an oval shape (approx. 35 x 25 cm) and form a stollen by folding the long sides over each other.

  3. 3

    Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven (electric: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 1 hour. Leave to cool on a cake rack. Heat the jam in a pot while stirring, pass through a sieve and coat the stollen with it.

  4. 4

    Knead the marzipan and 225 g icing sugar and roll out 2-3 mm thick on a work surface lightly sprinkled with icing sugar. Wrap the stollen with it. Cut off protruding ends, roll out again and use cookie cutters to cut out stars for decoration.

  5. 5

    Dust the stollen with the remaining icing sugar and decorate with the marzipan stars. Results in about 30 slices.
