Course: Dessert, DIY, Snack
Cuisine: European, western
Servings: 15pieces (approx. depending on size of tray)
1 tablespoonMaple syrupGrade A, refined sugar-free
½ tablespoonCoconut oil (melted)unrefined, cold-pressed
Instructions
Using a silicone spatula, stir together the almond flour, almond extract, melted coconut oil and maple syrup in a medium bowl so they are well combined.
Once mixed, gently press the dough for 10-20 seconds to make into a firmer dough (using your fist/fingers).
Fill the silicone mould/tray with a spoon of marzipan dough, firmly press the marzipan dough into the mould with the back of a spoon or your fingers. Cover the top with cling film/plastic wrap and transfer to the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
After at least 30 minutes of freezing, gently remove each marzipan from the silicone/ice cube tray onto a serving plate or into a lined container. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Shaping the marzipan in silicone moulds – I recommend using silicone moulds/trays as they flexible (which is helpful when transferring the marzipan from the tray into a plate). Ensure the silicone mould/tray is dry before adding the marzipan. Cover with cling film/plastic wrap to keep the marzipan soft and prevent it from drying up.
Storage – this marzipan can be stored in an airtight container and will keep well for up to 4 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. Allow the marzipan to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving if preferred.
Variations – you can mix it up by using different silicone mould trays for a variety of shapes. Alternatively, for a warmer and nuttier taste you can add ¼ teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg or ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract.
