Marzipan Potatoes
Ingredients
- 2 cups ground almonds
- 2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon rose water
- 1 large egg white
- Fine Dutch cocoa (such as Droste Cocoa)
Instructions
- Mix almonds, confectioners' sugar, rose water and egg in a blender or food processor until very smooth.
- Wrap in a damp towel and allow to rest overnight.
- Take marzipan and roll into small 1 inch balls. Place cocoa, about 1/2 cup, into a small bag and toss a marzipan ball into bag. Close bag and gently roll around with your hands until the ball is covered in a light dusting of cocoa. The cocoa will cause the balls to look remarkably like baby potatoes!
Notes
This recipe can be used to make a variety of shapes.
Instead of rolling in cocoa, add paste food coloring to marzipan and shape into fruits, stars or any other shape.
