Editor’s Notes

Yee Kwan Limited Edition Festive Ice Cream : Stollen Ice Cream

Details: The mixed dried fruits and marzipan that traditionally fill stollen are hand-toasted and then carefully mixed into a sweet aromatic marzipan ice cream.
Inspiration: Yee Kwan’s brother in law Sascha is from Germany and was inspired by the “official” Dresden Stollen produced by only 150 Dresden bakers. Traditionally baked at Christmas time the Stollen shape resembles the body shape of the wrapped Jesus child hence the white icing sugar on top. Yee used this inspiration for her festive limited edition ice cream.

Drink with: Spätlese, Auslese or Beerenauslese Riesling, Dark Rum, Pineau de Charentes, Cognac, Marsala Dolce.
