Persian Marzipan Candy - Toot - for Persian New Year! A vegan, no-bake dessert made with just 5 ingredients.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup of slivered almonds, plus more for garnish
  • 1 cup of powdered sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of rosewater (golab)
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom
Instructions
  1. Add 1 cup of almonds, the powdered sugar and cardamom to your food processor. Blend for 2-3 minutes until it is all an even consistently.
  2. Add in 1 tablespoon of rosewater and blend for another minute. Repeat with the 2nd tablespoon of rosewater. The mixture should come together as a dough now - test it with your fingers. If it has some give and feel like dough, you're ready!
  3. Now is the assembly line part. Fill a flat, shallow pan with your granulated sugar - this is what you'll roll your formed toot in to coat.
  4. Pinch a piece of dough and roll between your palms into a ball about the size of a grape. Once you've made a ball, form it into a cone by pinching one end and flattening the other.
  5. Roll your marzipan cone in the granulated sugar bath and finally, insert a long almond sliver into the fatter end to make it look like the stem of the mulberry fruit. Now repeat this about 50 times! :) Serve immediately or store in an air tight container and enjoy later!
  6. ***Note: you can use slivered pistachios as the 'stem' as well - I find slivered almonds much easier to find/make!
