Instructions
Step 1
Start by measuring the **almond flour** and **powdered sugar** accurately into a mixing bowl. Ensure that you have your **water, rum,** and **almond extract** ready for mixing.
Step 2
In the bowl, combine the **almond flour** and **powdered sugar** thoroughly. This will ensure that the mixture is evenly blended before adding any wet components.
Step 3
Pour in the **water** and **rum** into the dry mixture. Stir these ingredients together until they begin to form a cohesive dough. If you desire, add **2-3 drops of almond extract** for enhanced flavor.
Step 4
Once combined, **knead the mixture gently** on a clean surface for a couple of minutes. This will help develop a smooth and pliable marzipan that is ready for molding.
Step 5
Wrap the marzipan in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator if not using immediately. It can be kept for several weeks, allowing you to prepare ahead for your festive baking!
Servings
Once your Marzipan is prepared, the serving possibilities are endless! 🎉 Consider wrapping it in a beautiful layer around your holiday Stollen, creating that iconic marzipan layer that everyone loves. You can also roll it into small balls and dust them with powdered sugar or cocoa for an elegant treat! 🥄
Looking for something more playful? How about shaping your Marzipan into fun figures or festive decorations to enhance your holiday table? 🎄✨ Not only are they delightful to look at, but they also add a personal touch to your treats!
Lastly, serve Marzipan alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon snack. It pairs beautifully with chocolate or fruity desserts, making a perfect balance of flavors! 🍵💖
