Homemade marzipan for Stollen

Asked on 2 Nov 2024 by Maartje2021

Hallo again, Lindsey

Please could you tell me what quantity of marzipan Delia’s marzipan recipe produces in weight? I am half-Dutch and want to make Delia’s stollen for the first time. Stollen is traditional in Holland — it’s not just Austrian! Delia’s stollen recipe calls for 175g marzipan, but her marzipan recipe only mentions how big a cake you can cover it with, rather than what weight it produces.

Hello again!

This recipe will make about 375 - 400g.

So I’d make half for the stollen recipe.

Kind regards

Lindsey

Thank you very much again, Lindsey; you can tell that, like everyone else, I’m trying to get on top of my Christmas baking. It must be an incredibly busy time for you! I’m very sorry for all my questions — hopefully that’s the lot, now. I’m very grateful for all your help and that Delia’s site offers this service — it’s completely invaluable!
