Description

These chocolate-covered marzipan bites offer a symphony of textures and flavors that make them an irresistible indulgence. The marzipan itself is incredibly soft and smooth, melting in your mouth with a rich almond flavor that is both comforting and decadent. Enrobed in a luscious chocolate coating, each bite delivers a satisfying contrast between the tender marzipan and the slightly firm, often snappy, chocolate shell.

These delightful morsels are surprisingly simple to create, requiring just a handful of ingredients and a short amount of time in the kitchen. Their ease of preparation makes them perfect for satisfying sudden cravings or for preparing a sweet treat to share with friends and family. Enjoy them as an afternoon pick-me-up alongside a cup of tea or coffee, or serve them as an elegant dessert after a meal.

This version of marzipan is crafted to be free of refined sugars, relying on alternative sweeteners to achieve the perfect level of sweetness. It's also naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, making it a suitable treat for those with certain dietary restrictions – simply ensure that your chocolate is also free of these ingredients. The recipe is highly adaptable, encouraging you to explore your culinary creativity.

Consider adding chopped nuts, such as peanuts or almonds, to the melted chocolate for a delightful nutty crunch. Alternatively, try dipping the marzipan in white chocolate and sprinkling it with freeze-dried raspberries for a tangy and visually stunning variation. The base marzipan recipe is a blank canvas, inviting you to experiment with different flavors and textures to create your own signature treat.

Important note: This recipe contains raw eggs. Please store these chocolate-covered marzipan bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to ensure freshness and safety. For longer storage, the plain marzipan dough can be frozen for up to three months.

Simply thaw, divide, and coat as desired when ready to enjoy.

Instructions

    1.
    To a food processor, add the almond flour and powdered erythritol. Blend until the dry mixture resembles a fine powder. If you don't have a food processor, you can whisk these 2 ingredients together in a bowl.
    2.
    Add the egg, vanilla, and almond extract to the food processor. Blend until a rough dough comes together. Transfer the dough to a bowl.
    3.
    Knead for a couple of minutes until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add a little more almond flour. If it's too dry, add a tsp or 2 of water.
    4.
    Cut a large piece of cling film and lay it flat on your work surface. Shape the dough into a log and place it on the plastic. Wrap the cling film around the dough, secure it from both sides, and roll it until it becomes a smooth long, and thin cylinder.
    5.
    Place the marzipan log in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up. Then, slice it into 20 equal pieces using a knife or spatula. Place them on a plate and transfer them to the freezer to firm up while you prepare the chocolate.
    6.
    To a heat-proof bowl, add the chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave it in 20-second intervals until most of the chocolate has melted. Mix to dissolve the remaining chocolate.
    7.
    Take the marzipan pieces out of the freezer. Working with one at a time, stick a toothpick or wooden stick to the bottom of the marzipan and dip it in chocolate. Swirl it around to coat all the sides.
    8.
    Repeat with the remaining marzipan bites, then place them on a plate non-coated side down. Place them in the fridge until you're ready to eat or serve them. These Keto chocolate bites pair beautifully with coffee.
