    Keto Christmas Stollen

    This keto stollen is a sugar-free and gluten-free version of the classic German Christmas recipe. A low carb dough with spices, candied fruit and nuts surrounds an keto almond paste.

    Stollen makes a great alternative to Christmas cake if you would prefer a more dough based treat rather than a fruit cake. It has all the warm spices, candied fruit with the addition of an almond paste centre.

    A slice of this is Christmas breakfast according to my husband when he tasted his first slice. I was delighted as my grandparents are German and Stollen was something I enjoyed over the Christmas holidays when they visited us from Hamburg in the UK.

    What is Stollen?

    Stollen is almost bread like with the dough but is filled with chopped nuts, dried fruits, candied peels and spices with a marzipan filling. The top of this seasonal dessert is covered with a powdered sugar which I like to think represents the snowy time of the year in northern Germany.

    How to make Keto Stollen

    This easy recipe mixes the dry and wet ingredients in two separate bowls. They are then combined to make a low carb dough, with the addition of sugar free candied peel and ginger.

    Before you make the keto Stollen there are are few ingredients you need to make beforehand.

    1. The almond paste need to be prepared. This will be inside the stollen dough and helps keep it moist.
    2. The sugar free orange peel and ginger. At Christmas we have this to hand as it is quick to make but you need this the day before you use it in this keto Stollen recipe. For the sugar free orange peel we took a regular recipe and swapped the sugar with monkfruit.
    3. For the dried fruit element, we used dried cranberries and blueberries and soaked them in rum for extra moisture and festive flavour.
    stollen process
    1. Roll out the dough.
    2. Place the almond paste log on the dough.
    3. Using the parchment paper, roll up the dough around the almond paste.
    4. Secure the edges and bake.

    Storing

    Store the stollen in an air tight container in the refrigerator. It should last up to 2 weeks.

    This freezes well and will last up to 3 months frozen.
