Christmas Calendar 2020 Day 16 - Cherry marzipan bread

 

Today I have been creating some more marzipan bread as supplement to these marzipan bread with Grand Marnier. Again I have located the recipe in the weekly magazine "Søndag" (issue 49/2020). However, I decided to make various modification to the original recipe. I continued to use chocolate coating, as I did not need to temper a chocolate coating as you have with normal chocolate. You only need to melt the chocolate coating, and when it is ready to use.

Cherry marzipan bread: - 15 marzipan breads

• 40 g Amarena cherry - finely chopped
• 200 g marzipan
• 3 tablespoons cherry liquid from the Amarena cherries or cherry liqueur
• 20 g almond flour
• dark chocolate coating
• ruby chocolate coating

1. Knead the marzipan, cherry and cherry liquid together with the almond flour together by hand in a medium sized mixing bowl.
2. Place the marzipan cold for 30 minutes.
3. Roll the marzipan mass in long smaller roll, which when is flatten in square size. 
4. Cut the marzipan roll into 15 smaller square pieces.
5. Place the marzipan pieces cold again for minimum 30 minutes.
6. Melt the dark/ruby chocolate coating.
7. Coat the marzipan bread pieces one by one, place the coated marzipan bread on a piece of baking parchment.
8. After setting of the chocolate coating, place the marzipan bread in airtight containers.
