Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 115 g ground almonds (almond meal)
  • 115 g icing sugar (confectioners sugar)
  • 30 g egg white (preferably pasteurised (or to desired texture))
  • ¾ tsp almond extract
  • 220 g dark chocolate (70+% cocoa)
  • 80 g white chocolate ((optional) for decoration )
  • edible glitter ((optional))

Instruction

  • Weigh the ground almonds into the bowl.
  • Weigh the icing sugar and sieve into the bowl with the almonds.
  • Mix the ground almonds with the icing sugar using a firm wooden/silicone spoon.
  • Add the egg white and almond extract and mix together until even and well blended. The dough should now be a smooth, soft ball of marzipan.
  • Knead the marzipan with hands for a couple of minutes before wrapping in clingfilm.
  • Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • When ready to make the chocolates, bring the marzipan to room temperature and gently knead. This will prevent cracking when rolled.
