Mazapán
Learn how to make homemade mazapán! This sweet and crumbly Mexican candy only uses 2 ingredients - toasted peanuts and powdered sugar.
Ingredients
- 2 cups roasted unsalted peanuts
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
-
Add the peanuts and powdered sugar to a food processor. Pulse until you get a fine and powdery texture.
-
Place a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface and arrange a 2-inch cookie cutter mold on top.
-
Scoop 2 ½ tablespoons of the ground mixture into the cookie mold and begin pressing it down with your fingers or the back of a spoon. Press firmly to really pack the peanut mixture into the mold.
-
Remove the mazapán very gently from the mold by lightly pushing down the sides as you slide the mold out. Don’t push from the center.
-
Carefully transfer the mazapán onto a plate to serve or wrap in cling wrap to eat later.
