Tasty, delicate and pleasantly fragrant – that’s exactly what fluffy nut rolls are, and the whole family will love them. This recipe combines buttery dough with a fresh walnut cream, complemented by a subtle hint of lemon zest. The rolls are ideal as a treat with coffee, for a festive table, or just – when you feel like something sweet.

For 14 portions

Ingredients

For the dough:

For the walnut cream:

For finishing:

sugar syrup: 1 tablespoon sugar + a few drops of warm water

Preparation procedure

  • Dough preparation In a bowl, whip the softened butter with the sugar and egg yolks until fluffy. Add the cream cheese and lemon zest, mix everything well. Then gradually incorporate the flour with a pinch of salt and work into a smooth, elastic dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Filling preparation In a bowl, mix the egg whites with the sugar (just lightly with a fork is enough). Add the ground nuts and vanilla sugar. Divide the resulting mixture into small logs – they will serve as the filling for the rolls.
  • Shaping the rolls Roll the dough into a sheet 2–3 mm thick. Use a glass or cutter to make circles. Place a walnut log on each, fold the dough over from both sides and press lightly. Use a fork to create the characteristic stripes on the top.
  • Baking Transfer the rolls to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush them with sugar syrup (sugar dissolved in water) and bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C until golden – approximately 12–15 minutes. After cooling, you can lightly dust with powdered sugar.

Total preparation time:

90 minutes (30 min dough preparation, 20 min shaping, 15 min baking, 25 min cooling and final touches)

Number of servings:

approx. 25–30 rolls

Conclusion

Fluffy nut rolls are a great example of how easily you can create the perfect homemade dessert. The buttery dough combined with a moist nut filling ensures these rolls will disappear in no time. An ideal choice not only for the holidays but also as a sweet surprise for guests.
