no Christmas without some sweat treats, right? !in my case this year this means doing without...
( right, I recently have been dealing with lactose and fructose intolerance, yay ! and this kind of sugar is almost everywhere, but more about this topic soon, now it´s christmas, and yes I also cheated a bit inbetween,;)and anyways this also make cute give-aways...
Stollenkonfekt ( a sweet traditional German Christmas bread)
the same procedure as every year... it´s so good, we just can`t do without.you can find the recipe here
also no Christmas without Marzipan jam.this year it is :
spiced plum blueberry marzipan jam
I simply skipped some ingredients and took plums and blueberries instead cherries and a bit ofrum... so yummy, like every year, you can find more about it here and the basic recipe here )
and there is also a new addition !
this was the also the reason I cheated with my no sugar diet !it´s so good, I just couldn`t resist.
Speculoose dulce de leche cookie butter:
basically I used this German blog recipe from backbube for the speculoose cookie butter.( if you need to translate in English you can copie and paste it into a translater, it´s not all accurate, but yourwill get the point how to make it )and layered it with some easy made dulce the leche out of condensed milk ( like in this recipe),I cooked a small part of it a bit longer so that it gets more solid, rolled it and cut some hearts with a cookie cutter to place it on the on the glasses, just the same way I do it with the marzipan jam above.
I love the taste of caramel together with the speculoose cookie butter,just perfect also if you add some sea salt on top for salted caramel.
just try it yourself and enjoy !
