Lambertz Dark Chocolate Lebkuchen Hearts, Stars & Pretzels 500g

Product Information

I collect all of mine and they hang on my kitchen wall in Munich as decorations and reminders of happy times. In fact, the most famous gingerbread in all of Germany comes from the Franconian city of Nürnberg (Nuremberg), which exports lebkuchen all over the world. You should also note that the picture images show only our serving suggestions of how to prepare your food - all table accessories and additional items and/or ingredients pictured with the product you are purchasing are not included.

Decorated with sugar icing and inscribed with a fun or meaningful phrase, these heart cookies are the perfect gift. When it becomes too difficult to stir, use your hands to bring the mixture together into a dough, then knead for a few minutes until smooth. The box takes its inspiration from the gingerbread house in the beloved German fairytale, Hansel and Gretel.This also means they are sturdier than normal gingerbread, though if you’d like them softer you can bake them for 5 minutes less, either way, they are perfectly edible, and if you aren’t keeping them for posterity it would be a shame to waste all those lovely ingredients. DECORATE: When the Gingerbread Hearts are completely cool, use a piping bag to carefully pipe messages or decorations onto them.

We recommend that you always check the packaging for allergen advice and talk to your doctor if you need any further food allergy advice. If you have decided on a gingerbread heart or another shape, the personal design is particularly quick and easy.

Whether it’s the classic variation decorated with coloured icing, or covered in chocolate and topped with marzipan – every heart we make is decorated by hand with care and attention to detail by our master confectioners.I also like to add a little unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa as this gives the Lebkuchenherzen a lovely dark colour and rich shine. Another tip is to place it in an airtight container with some apples, which will soften the cake again. This might include changes to allergy advice, ingredient lists, nutritional guides or dietary advice. Bake in the centre of the oven for about 12 minutes until slightly golden and firm to the touch, but not browned or hard.
