Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond paste or marzipan, powdered sugar, egg white, and almond extract. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and a smooth dough is formed.
-
Transfer the dough onto a clean surface lightly dusted with powdered sugar. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
-
Use a knife or a cookie cutter to cut the dough into diamond-shaped pieces. Place the diamond shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
-
Bake the Marzipanrauten in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly golden around the edges. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
-
Once baked, remove the Marzipanrauten from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Once the Marzipanrauten have cooled, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top of each diamond. You can use a spoon or a piping bag to create a neat design.
-
While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle slivered almonds on top of the Marzipanrauten for an extra crunch and visual appeal.
-
Allow the chocolate to set before serving the Marzipanrauten on a platter for everyone to enjoy.
