Dessert

Had this dessert at Cafe Rouge yesterday, forgot the name but was nice.

Stollen baked and wrapped, to be sliced at Christmas.

250g flour weight, 300g marinated fruit and nuts weight, highly enriched with butter, eggs, milk and sugar. Pierced after baking and liberally coated with melted butter, then coated with powdered sugar. Wrapped tightly with foil and plastic, stored cold until Kris Kringle slides down the chimney.

Banana bread fresh out of the oven.

Had some tres leches cake which oddly tasted a bit like tiramisu.... at Puesto in San Diego

Stollen!

First photo is mine using Bruno Albouze’s recipe. Second photo is a German Stollen I bought in the Frankfurt airport in late October of this year.

The two are both very good, according to my taste testers. They are different from each other in flavor, aroma and appearance.

Turns out, not surprisingly, Germany has a specification for Dresdner Stollen.

My Stollen has a couple of aspects that are non-compliant vs the spec. Marzipan, interestingly, is not one of the spec deviations.

Best pumpkin pie ever? Costco……and $5.99 for a 24 day inch pie. Incredible!!

Where I live (netherlands) there is also a big stollen culture.
It is eaten with christmas and easter, and virtually always has marzipan in it.
It's called kerststol (at christmas):

Actually the marzipan inside is a more coarse almond paste (also a bit softer). Tastes a little bit more bitter too.

I think I'll have a slice now

Crème Brûlée bought at Costco

You guys are surprising me sometimes more and more, had never expected German Stollen as a dish for you. But I know that this is a very appreciated gift, as well as Bavarian white sausages, German beer and marzipan. This is btw. originated at Germany, too

Matcha Green Tea Crepe Cake

From Lady M cakes?

They are a bit more healthy, and more 'adult'(?), with nuts & coconut,

BAN This is like wasting nuts/coconuts in brownies. No, no, NO. Takes up valuable CHOCOLATE space.

Lisbon cake
Recipe from Bruno Albouze

Chocolate biscuit under chocolate ganache under chocolate mousse. Dusted with cocoa powder. Quite good.
