Marzipan Miracles

 I needed a little sweet treat the other night so of course I look to my cupboards to see what I have to mix up. Immediately I spotted the almond meal ( the flour left over after making almond milk) and thought of a childhood favourite... Marzipan! I remember my Nana making marzipan at Christmas time to cover  the homemade fruit cakes and boy, oh boy, did I love being around to stick my chubby little fingers in that mixing bowl..

So as an adult, not having Nana's recipe,  I start from scratch. It's amazing what you can come up with, with just a little experimenting and an idea.

I Started with 


1 cup Almond Flour/ Meal (finely ground)
1 1/2 tbsp of Coconut Butter
1 tsp Vanilla Extract (optional)
1 tbsp Maple Syrup

I put this mix in my blender and mixed until consistent dough like substance appeared, if it looks a little wet add a tbsp of almond flour at a time to get a rollable doughy mix.

At this point this is marzipan, Yeay! How will you finish them you ask??

Sprinkle  shredded or powdered Dark chocolate or coconut shreds in the bottom of a bowl.

Spoon out small amounts of the marzipan and roll it into a ball, then gently roll the ball through the chocolate or coconut shreds. 

Place on a cookie sheet or parchment and place them in the fridge for an hour to firm up.

After that, enjoy!

My later batches I added lemon zest then rolled them in coconut, and added shreds and ginger juice to the mix and rolled it in the dark chocolate for a spicy, sweet treat.  
 
  
Be creative with what you have, experiment, try new combinations and enjoy the healthy journey.

Wild Seed Holistic Health respectfully acknowledges that we work, live & play in the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1726. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
