{Recipe} Marzipan ( No Cook & Egg less)

 

Marzipan-Its is dough prepared originally using Almond's paste and mostly used as fondants for cakes or also used in preparing Easter Eggs. Marzipan is used to prepared sweets during Christmas which are molded in fruits shape or shaped by using Silicon Molds. These small cute Marzipan sweets are  prepared during Christmas in most of the Catholic homes as part of the "Kuswar Platter".

Today's marzipan recipe I have used Cashew nuts powder, no Eggs or cooking required. Otherwise mostly Marzipan recipe requires Egg white followed by cooking until the mixture is all done. This no cook recipe without egg is easy and anyone can give it try during this Christmas.
