Microwave Marzipan | Easy 4 ingredient recipe | Kravings

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!
Buy similar molds - www.amazon.ca/shop/kravings
Here are the ingredients and steps to make this recipe!
Ingredients
100 gms(3.5 oz) ground almonds or almond meal
200 gms (7 oz) icing sugar
2 egg whites (40 -50 ml)
2 drops almond essence
Instructions
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
Remove and scrape onto a board to cool
Once cool add food colouring and knead adding extra icing sugar if sticky
Divide and roll into balls and then press into the molds

Do you have a recipe for making Christmas stollen with marzipan filling? Happy holidays!

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

Hi there Partha! Haven't done that yet!

[@carritarebeiro708]

Loved the recipe! Found it very easy. I don't have a food processor so do I just kneed the dough with hand ? Would that work ?

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

Yes it would. I find the food processor cuts the time considerably. Within a minute the dough is ready. But you could do it by hand! If the warmth of your hands makes the dough sticky, add some extra icing sugar.

[@pinkypereira9251]

Thanks for the recipe . What is the shelf life of the marzipan? Can I store it in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 weeks?

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

Yes you can - I keep it in a tin with parchment paper in between. It's pretty cold where I live in Dec.

Hii Karen, just curious about the moulds (is it rubber??, where I can get them from). I have searched Amazon but couldn’t find anything like them. Hope to hear from you. Thanks 🙏🏼

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

Hey - these are from India. The only kind you will get from Amazon is the chocolate ones.

[@jeandsouza683]

Thank you Karen for the recipe - the dough is still sticky do I add more of the ground almond

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

Yes add more ground almond ... also allow it to cool. Spread it in a thin layer ... as it cools it becomes less sticky.

I love using cashews but because they are so expensive I use almonds. Proportion is the same - if the dough is damper because cashews are oilier, just add a little more icing sugar!

This one I did with was with cashews. Thanks much Love

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

Hey Nichelle - I do show it in the video. You cover the marzipan with cling film and zap for only 10 secs, waiting in between for about 20 secs. I do this 3 times.

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

Yes you can! Just know that Cashew has more oil content, so you may need to use more icing sugar

[@cheryldsouza3338]

Loved ur recipes but what is the shelf life of this recipe

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

Cheryl, depends on where you live, it's cold here in Canada so I can make it upto 3 weeks ahead. You have to make sure though that it's stored in a dry airtight tin and you cannot over stuff the tin as they can get stuck together with the weight. I add them in layers with parchment paper in between.

[@JamesBond-gk1od]

Can i use a combination of almonds and cashew nuts?

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

Hi James - you certainly can. Just remember that Cashew nuts are oilier, so you may need to adjust the icing sugar to absorb that excess oil.

[@flaviandias8570]

Hii Karen. Plzz wil shw us Milk Cream recipe md out of milkmaid. Thank u.

Can I use almond flour instead of almond meal?

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

I’m going to answer this question in a few more days as I was planning to try this for myself.

[@evitrasaldanha662]

How long can be stored in room temperature???

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

I would say depends on the room temp. I live in Canada and store it outside in a tin for weeks, but I know in India this can only be made a week before as it can be quite hot and humid.

Second thumbs down because you add egg white. No part of eggs belongs into a marzipan recipe.

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

This is how marzipan is made in India. If you don’t like it, you can make it your own way.

[@ev..]

@@KravingsFoodAdventures you just said it. INDIA. Hahaha. India surely has not invented marzipan. Hahahaaaa. In India marzipan was introduced from Portugal and Spain. I bet nobody from Spain would eat your icing with some almond powder with egg in it.

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

I think you're missing the point. India has not invented marzipan - however this video you're commenting on is how this is made during Christmas by Christians in India.

@@KravingsFoodAdventures I bet diabetes doesn't exist in India. I recommend less sugar. Firstly it is not necessary and secondly it is healthy.

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

@@ev.. Nothing about eating Marzipan is healthy.

[@ev..]

You got a thumbs down for only mentioning a microwave. Heating is never required when making marzipan. You are also not making marzipan but icing with some ground almonds in it. Simply disgusting.

[@KravingsFoodAdventures]

A binding agent is used. We use egg white and it’s heated so it’s not raw. It’s damn delicious

[@ev..]

@@KravingsFoodAdventures wrong! Nobody who makes real marzipan uses a binding agent. Marzipan doesn't need a binding agent. A bit of rose water is enough. Otherwise just almond powder and icing sugar 50:50.
