Equipment

  • Food processor or blender

Ingredients

  • 1 ½  cups roasted unsalted peanuts
  • 1 cup Powder sugar for a more firm texture.

Instructions

  • In a food processor (preferred method) or blender, add the 1 ½ cup of peanuts and the 1 cup confectioners sugar. Puree until you reach a fine and powdery texture.
  • Scoop the ground peanut mixture to a cookie mold and begin pressing it down with your fingers, the back of a spatula or spoon.
  • Don't be afraid to press very hard! The more compact the mixture is the better it'll keep its form.
  • Remove them very gently as they break very easily. Tip: Push from the sides of the mold and not from the center. Do it a little bit at the time to avoid braking it.

Notes

Store in an airtight container or individually in plastic wrap.
Makes about 7 round mazapanes in 2.25" size
