Traditionally, Marzipan is made by cooking all the ingredients over a low flame. It requires your undivided attention and a lot of muscle power. A decade or so ago I figured out a way to make this relatively easily in the microwave, and this is the recipe I will share with you!
Ground almonds/Almond meal | 100 Gram (3 1/2 oz) | |
Icing sugar | 200 Gram (7 oz) | |
Egg whites | 2 (50 ml) | |
Almond essence | 2 Drop |
MAKING:
1. Process everything together with half the egg white and then process again.
2. Take the mixture out and add to a microwaveable plate, cover with cling film and zap in the microwave for 10 secs, 3 to 4 times.
3. Remove and scrape onto a board to cool.
4. Once cool add food coloring and knead adding extra icing sugar if sticky.
5. Divide and roll into balls and then press into the molds.
SERVING:
6. serve and enjoy!
