Christmas Calendar 2013 Day 17 - "Snow balls" with Limoncello

If it can not snow outside for Christmas, this Christmas candy can bring some snow for your inside decoration of your home for Christmas !!!

If I have found: the original recipe here. And I will the twist of adding a Summer twist in form of Limoncello into such a traditional Christmas candy as "Snow balls", it is a merge of Summer and Winter !!!

"Snow balls" with Limoncello a la Louisa Lorang:

• 200 g marzipan
• 1 teaspoon organic lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons limoncello
• 3 tablespoons icing sugar
• 150 g white chocolate
• coconut flakes

1. Knead the marzipan together with the lemon zest, limoncello and icing sugar.
2. Form this marzipan mass into round ball with the size of a hazel nut.
3. Let these marzipan balls cool down in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
4. Melt the white chocolate - I would use my microwave own for this purpose.
5. Coat the marzipan balls with white chocolate.
6. Roll the chocolate coated marzipan balls in the coconut flakes.
7. Let the chocolate coating dry, this takes for hours !!!!
8. Place the "snow balls" in an air tight container and store them in the refrigerator, as long as they can last in your kitchen, before someone eats them :-)
