Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.

Prepare Egg Whites
In a bowl, beat the 2 egg whites using an electric mixer until they become foamy. Set aside.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a non-stick pan, add 2 cups of ground cashew nuts and 2 cups of powdered sugar. Mix them well with a wooden spoon.
Add Wet Ingredients
Pour 1-2 tablespoons of rose water into the cashew and sugar mixture. Then, add the foamy egg whites to the pan.
Cook the Marzipan Mixture
Place the pan on low heat and cook the mixture, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring for about until the mixture thickens and forms a dough-like consistency that doesn't stick to the pan.
Check Marzipan Consistency
To check if the marzipan is ready, drop a small amount into a bowl of water. It should form a soft ball and hold its shape. If it dissolves, continue cooking for a few more minutes.
Cool the Mixture
Once the marzipan is ready, pour the hot mixture into a clean, greased pan or plate and spread it evenly. Let it cool down completely to room temperature.
Knead the Dough
Once cooled, the marzipan mixture with your hands until it forms a smooth, pliable dough.
Prepare Icing Cream
In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Mix well until you get a smooth, creamy icing. Divide the icing into separate bowls and add food coloring (pink, green) as desired.
Shape the Easter Eggs
Take small portions of the marzipan dough and press them into an egg-shaped mold. Gently remove the shaped marzipan eggs and place them on a plate.
Decorate the Eggs
Using small piping bags or a toothpick, decorate the marzipan eggs with the prepared icing. Create various patterns like lines, zigzags, or dots. Finish by sprinkling edible beads or sprinkles on top of the decorated eggs.
