Categories     Cake     Cookies     Carrot     Marzipan

Yield makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 4

7 ounces marzipan
Orange gel-paste food coloring
5 chocolate wafer cookies, very finely ground
Fresh carrot greens (reserved from Carrot-Ginger Cupcakes) or fresh dill

Steps:

  • With a toothpick, add a dab of food coloring to the marzipan and knead with fingers to combine; continue until desired shade is achieved.
  • Shape mounded 1/2 teaspoons of marzipan into 24 balls, and place on a clean work surface. Using your hands, roll each piece back and forth to form a 2-inch log. Using your fingers, shape one end of each log into a tapered point to form a carrot shape. (It needn't be perfect; garden carrots have lumps and bumps.) Use the tip of a skewer or toothpick to make a small hole at the top of the carrot. Using a paring knife, make small grooves across the surface of each carrot in a random design. Carrots can be kept at room temperature, in an airtight container, for up to 1 week.
  • When ready to serve, roll carrots in cookie crumbs, lightly brushing off excess, and insert carrot greens into the holes.
  • Mini Marzipan Carrots how-to
  • Orange-tinted marzipan balls are rolled into carrot shapes on a work surface, then scored with a knife. The marzipan carrots are then rolled in chocolate cookie crumbs and topped with carrot greens or dill to make them look like they're fresh from the garden.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my marzipan carrots turned out a little dry. They were still tasty, though.

I had a hard time finding marzipan at my local grocery store, but I was able to find it online. The carrots were worth the effort, though. They were delicious!

These marzipan carrots were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still pretty good.

I'm not a huge fan of marzipan, but these carrots were surprisingly good. The almond flavor was subtle and the carrots were nice and moist.
