Marzipan chocolate recipe, How to prepare marzipan chocolate
Marzipan is traditionally made with almonds but you can actually make it with any nuts. I would like to explain cashew nut marzipan. I really love the taste of marzipan especially combined with chocolate. Marzipan is a famous and favorite Goan recipe usually made during Christmas and Easter. Cashew, almond, and sugar are the main ingredients to make marzipan. We have added chocolate to enhance the taste.
