    Re: Marzipan!

    I'm back and forth with Halva. I just find myself fantasizing about things i haven't eaten in ages. I don't want the food, I just enjoy thinking about it. lol

      This is why I love being home for a while, I get to cook and experiment.

        Oh no! The recipe didn't come out like marzipan?



        I'm thinking I'll have to do some wild experimentation in the kitchen.

          Interestingly (is that a word? LOL) I love almonds but hate marzipan. Though it may be heriditary, my mother used to love peanuts but hated peanut butter.

            Re: Marzipan!

            Here's a simplified UK LC recipe I found on the web that doesn't have coconut... I think I might try this to see how it goes... I'd go with stevia as a sweetener (as by your recommendation)--plus, from what I've heard about its flavor, it seems like it would be good in marzipan (I'm a stevia virgin! ).


            Marzipan

            Ingredients
            1 egg white (Resconstituted dried is fine if you worry about using raw egg) 2 tsp (or 1 packet) sweetener
            2- 3 drops of almond extract
            About 100g ground almonds

            Method
            Mix all the liquid together, then add enough ground almond to make a nice thick paste.
            No stats. Not weighing anymore ever. Will post "before and after" pictures when I want to. The end.

              I remember a long time ago, I read a recipe for a 'faux-marzipan'. It was made from mashed potatoes, sugar and almond extract. I never tried it, but I thought it was interesting....

                  I know I like the way it looks way more than I like the way it tastes to be honest..but I know how it is supposed to taste and really ...Mogs I know it is not your personal recipe so you won't be offended when I say that this does not really taste like marzipan ..at all not even texture wise....
