Delicious Sweet Cheese Stollen Recipe for Everyone

Begin by melting 180 grams of unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, set it aside to cool slightly.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, a pinch of salt, and 140 grams of sugar. Stir until well mixed.

Next, add 2 eggs and 180 grams of cottage cheese to the mixture, whisking until smooth.

In another bowl, sift together 430 grams of flour, 10 grams of baking powder, 3 grams of cinnamon, and 2 grams of ground ginger.

Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a dough forms.

Prepare your fillings by mixing 100 grams of chopped walnuts and 300 grams of dried fruits in a separate bowl. Mix in the zest and juice of 2 oranges and 40 grams of dark rum.

Fold the fruit and walnut mixture into the dough generously, ensuring an even distribution throughout.

Divide the dough into four equal parts and shape each piece into a loaf. If desired, take 80 grams of marzipan for each loaf and roll it into a cylinder to place in the center of each stollen.

Seal the dough around the marzipan and flatten slightly to create an oval shape, reminiscent of a traditional stollen.

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Place the shaped stollen on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow them to cool on a wire rack once done.

Once cooled, brush each loaf with 80 grams of melted butter and dust generously with 150 grams of powdered sugar to create a sweet, snowy finish.

Wrap the warm stollen securely in plastic wrap and parchment paper to preserve their moisture.

Store them in a cool place, and enjoy at their best after a few days, as they develop wonderful flavors. They can be kept for up to a week!
