Toot (Persian Marzipan Candy)
Persian Marzipan Candy, also known as Toot in Farsi, is one of the most popular Persian sweets served during Nowruz (Persian New Year). This no-bake treat is delicious, festive, and incredibly easy to make with just five simple ingredients. It combines the rich flavors of almonds and rosewater with a hint of cardamom.
To prepare it, combine finely ground almonds, icing sugar, cardamom, and rosewater until a soft dough forms. Shape small portions into mulberry-like pieces, roll them in granulated sugar, and insert a sliver of pistachio as a stem. This beautiful, bite-sized treat is perfect for celebrating the Persian New Year.
Yield: Serves 6
- 1 2/3 cups unsalted slivered almonds, about 170 g
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 4-5 tablespoons white sugar
- 4 tablespoons rosewater
- slivered pistachios
Grind almonds into a fine powder using a food processor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground almonds, icing sugar, and cardamom. Gradually add rosewater and mix until a soft dough forms.
Spread white sugar on a plate.
Shape small pieces of dough into mulberries, roll them in the sugar, and insert a pistachio sliver as a stem.
Repeat until all the dough is used. Store in an airtight container.
