Ingredients:
– 1 cup raw almonds
– 1/4 cup maple syrup
– 1 tsp almond extract
– 1/2 cup vegan dark chocolate, melted
– Sliced almonds or pistachios for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Begin by soaking the raw almonds in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. This step helps to soften the almonds for blending.
2. Drain the soaked almonds and transfer them to a food processor. Add the maple syrup and almond extract to the almonds.
3. Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure all the almonds are well incorporated. The consistency should resemble a thick, sticky paste.
4. Once the mixture is smooth, scoop out small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place the marzipan balls on a parchment-lined tray and freeze them for about 30 minutes to firm up.
5. Meanwhile, melt the vegan dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
6. Remove the marzipan balls from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place the coated marzipan balls back on the parchment-lined tray.
7. If desired, garnish the chocolate-coated marzipan balls with sliced almonds or pistachios for an extra crunch and visual appeal.
8. Place the tray back in the freezer for another 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
9. Once the chocolate has hardened, remove the Raw Vegan Marzipan Delights from the tray and serve them on a platter or in decorative cupcake liners.
10. Enjoy these delightful treats as a guilt-free indulgence or share them with friends and family as a healthy dessert option. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
