Raw Chocolate Covered Marzipan Bites
For the Marzipan:
1.5 cups powered coconut sugar (blend in a food processor or coffee grinder)
1 egg white
2 tsp almond essence
1.5 cups almond meal
Put all the ingredients for the marzipan in a food processor and blend until they come to a ball. If it’s a little too sticky, add an extra 1/4 cup almond meal. Turn the ball out onto plastic wrap, seal and place in the fridge for an hour or until it's firmed up enough to roll. Now dust a work surface with powdered coconut sugar, or arrowroot starch, and roll it out to about 3/4 inch thick and chop into small bite size squares. You can either just melt your favorite chocolate in a double boiler and dip the marzipan bites, before leaving them to set in the fridge on parchment paper, or you can make a simple raw chocolate of your own.
For the raw chocolate topping:
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon raw honey
1/4 cup cocoa
Set your marzipan bites in the freezer for 30 minutes to help the chocolate set when you dunk them. Gently melt the coconut oil if needed, then stir in the honey and cocoa and mix until they are filly incorporated with no lumps. Pull your marzipan bites from the freezer and one by one ‘dunk’ them into the chocolate, or drizzle it over with a spoon. Either eat them right away or return them to the freezer to store.
