Recipe
Mix the butter, icing sugar and almond paste in a mixer with the paddle attachment. Stir until smooth. Add egg yolks and almond flour and mix well. Add plain flour, stollen spices, orange zest and French meringue made of whisked egg whites with sugar at the end. Pipe out disks of 16 cm in diameter using piping bag. Bake at 170°C for 10 minutes.
Crush the marzipan. Soak gelatine in cold water. Boil the cream and add soaked gelatine. Pour it over the crushed marzipan and mix well. Combine with semi-whipped cream making marzipan mousse. Pour half of the mousse into silicone mould, insert Griottines and fill it with remaining mousse. Cover it with stollen sponge cake and freeze.
Soak gelatine in cold water(2). Boil water(1) with sugar and glucose syrup to 103°C. Add condensed milk, gelatine solution, white and milk chocolate. Mix it with a hand-blender adding colorant and then cool it down. Coat the frozen cake with shiny coating of 30-35°C.
