In the Dutch language, the word "krans" translates to "wreath," providing a fitting description for this beloved classic Dutch Christmas pastry. Imagine a festive, circular creation made from layers of buttery, flaky puff pastry, intricately shaped into a wreath and filled with a sumptuous, velvety almond paste that melts in your mouth—this is the essence of the delightful "Kerstkrans."
To ensure the almond paste achieves its full flavor potential, we take the time to prepare it about two weeks ahead of the Christmas season. This careful aging process allows the marzipan—a blend of finely ground almonds and sugar—to develop its distinctive, bold flavor profile and rich, luxurious texture that sets it apart.
The "Kerstkrans" is more than just a pastry; it is an integral part of Dutch Christmas festivities. Families gather to indulge in this delectable treat, which is celebrated for its harmonious blend of flavors, evoking the warmth and joy of the holiday season.
When you place an order, you can anticipate a beautifully crafted wreath that measures an impressive 24 cm in diameter. Each Krans is artfully topped with crunchy, toasted almonds and zesty fruit peel, creating a delightful combination of textures and tastes. If you have preferences regarding these toppings or wish to exclude either ingredient, simply let us know at the time of your order, and we will happily accommodate your request.
