NO COOK 2 INGREDIENT MARZIPAN RECIPE - YUMMY SWEET

2 Ingredient Homemade Marzipan 

Homemade Marzipan is really worth trying than going to pre-made or store bought. Marzipan is used to frost cakes and all sort of goodies. As it tastes better than a fondant and helps to keep the cake moist, i prefer marzipan than a fondant for cakes. And it has a long shelf life of about 3 months when stored in the freezer. Here am going to make a sweet with this Homemade marzipan. This is a Christmas special sweet. Moreover, this marzipan is eggless, no-cook and vegan.  It is delicious and much easier to make. Just with two ingredients you can make this yummy treat for your kids and family. Powdered cashews can also be substituted with powdered Almonds. If so, you have to soak the almonds, peel and dry it completely and then powder it. You can shape this homemade marzipan into your favourite figures including fruits and vegetables. So let's move on to the recipe showing how to make Marzipan with two ingredients/ 2 ingredients marzipan/ Christmas sweets/ quick sweet recipes/ yummy sweets/ powdered cashew recipes.

INGREDIENTS (1 cup = 250 ml)

Cashew nut     - 1 cup, fresh and unsalted

Icing sugar      - 1 cup

Sugar solution - 5 tsp (dissolve 2 tbsp of sugar in quarter a cup of warm water)

For color

Rose milk essence   - 2 drops

Pista essence     - 2 drops

PREPARATION

Please check below video showing how to make Homemade Marzipan 

• Grind the cashews to a fine powder. But be careful, you must grind it in intervals else cashews will release its natural oil. Then sieve it well.
• To this add the icing sugar (after sieving).
• Now let's make a dough using sugar solution, add it little by little. I added 5 tsp of sugar solution only, so add accordingly. 
• Knead it very well and form a soft dough.
• Divide the dough into two portions. Make a hole in the centre and add food colour of your choice ( i added rose milk essence and pista essence). Again knead them separately. You can see the natural oil present in cashews is oozing out. Don't worry, it will dry up later.
• When done, make small balls out of this dough and shape it using a silicon mould. (instead, you can roll this dough out and cut into desired shapes).
• Keep them on the parchment paper once done and let it set aside to dry completely (preferably overnight or at least 8 hours). So the two ingredient Marzipan is ready to use. The shelf life of this sweet is 1 week when stored in an airtight container.
