Marzipan without eggs
Marzipan is a common treat in Germany, but I rarely see it in the US. I might have seen the Ritter Sport Marzipan chocolate bar here and there.
An apricot marzipan recipe caught my eyes and and thought I’d give it a go! Here’s the recipe for a basic Marzipan and the apricot Marzipan.
Ingredients Basic Marzipan
168g or 1 3/4 cups almond meal
120g or 1 cup powdered sugar
3 table spoons corn syrup/honey/maple syrup OR 1 egg white
2-3 table spoons oil (I used almond oil) if the mass is too dry
Optional: 3 teaspoons almond extract or rose water
Instructions
Mix well together
Form into a log
Refrigerate to harden for at least 2 hours
Ingredients Apricot Marzipan
100g or 1 cup dried apricots
50g or 1/2 cup Marzipan
1 table spoon corn syrup/honey/maple syrup
1 tablespoon cup sesame seeds
30g or 1/3 cup chia seeds
1-2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Mix well together in a blender
Refrigerate for a couple of hours to harden
