Easy to make Marzipan Easter Eggs | Instant Microwave recipe | Kravings

I'm not sure where the tradition started or when it began, but I am so very glad it did. During Easter, stores in Bombay or Mumbai, Goa and other cities and states in India sell beautiful decorated marzipan eggs in various sizes and colors. While the west has their confections primarily made out of chocolate, the marzipan egg is a prized possession in India.
Marzipan is a combination of ground almonds and sugar mixed together with egg whites to make a supple dough.
Here are the ingredients and steps to make this recipe!
Marzipan Easter Eggs
Marzipan recipe
100 gms(3.5 oz) ground Almonds or Almond meal or Almond flour
200 gms (7 oz) Icing Sugar
2 Egg Whites (40 -50 ml)
2 drops Almond Essence
Decorations
1 cup Royal Icing
Sprinkles and Candy decorations as required
Process everything together with half the egg white and then process again
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

Once cool divide add food colouring and knead adding extra icing sugar if sticky
Divide and roll into balls
Using plastic wrap, line the plastic egg molds, press the marzipan in there and remove

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

It really depends on the blade Flavian. It needs a nice big wide blade to mix everything together. If you use a mixer with a small blade, it may just mix whatever is around it - you're better off just kneading it by hand in this case.

[@judywaliakishinani5022]

Do you have recepie for royal icing with egg and lime

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

Hi there, no I don't sorry, I just use the Wilton Royal Icing recipe that uses Egg White.

[@brendamenon251]

Hi Karen, please share your royal icing receipe for the Easter Eggs.

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

I just use the Wilton Royal Icing recipe - www.wilton.com/royal-icing/WLRECIP-50.html

[@sallycorrea4889]

Can we use the same recipe and method for cashew powder

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

Yes. Cashew is a bit more oily so you may have to add more icing sugar.

[@gisellesmediaworld5242]

How to avoid the mazipan from drying coz after few days the cashew starts leaving it's oil

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

I'm using Almond, but I do love Cashew. I usually grind it with some extra icing sugar to absorb the excess oil. I haven't noticed that mine left any additional oil, but you could wrap them individually in cling film. I do that anyway with my almond marzipan.

[@brendamenon251]

Please share the recipe for hollow Easter egg.

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

Hi Brenda - haven't done that yet.

[@nikolaimurzello5007]

[@anitapatankar3672]
