Marzipan, Cranberries and Pistachio Squares
Makes 24
16 ounces marzipan
Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
10 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup pistachios
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Cut the marzipan into 4 equal parts.
Using a rolling pin, roll out the
marzipan to form a thin
pancake-like shape.
Use a little confectioners’ sugar
as flour so the marzipan does
not stick to the surface.
Melt the chocolate (can use a
microwave or a saucepan
over hot water).
Cover a baking tray with
parchment paper and place
one marzipan layer on it.
Pour some chocolate on top
and using a spatula, spread all
around the marzipan.
Sprinkle with cranberries and pistachio.
Place another layer on top and
continue until the last layer is
chocolate, pistachio and cranberries.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes before
cutting into squares.
Keep cool until served.
