Marzipan is one of those ingredients that you either love or hate. At least I’ve never met anyone saying that they tolerated the taste of marzipan in sweets, but were not very fond of it. I love the taste of marzipan! I like to eat it all year around (out of the package I may add!), but somehow the more complex the marzipan figure or sweet is done, the better it tastes! At least this is what I tell myself ;)
Today’s recipe are chocolate biscotti. Instead of classic pistachio biscotti I wanted to give it a more Christmassy vibe and used arancini and almonds. These cookies are also softer in the center than the classic Cantuccini, as they are only baked once. I know that biscotti are supposed to be baked twice but I prefer mine soft with a deep chocolate flavor.
Welcome to day 2 of my recipe advent calendar. Did you guess today’s recipe?
What better way to officially start the Christmas season than with a spicy yet sweet mini cake donut recipe. For my first recipe in my ‘recipe advent calendar’ I chose to bake mini gingerbread cake donuts with a brown sugar glaze to kick off the holiday season. The glaze adds a nice caramel flavor, complementing the gingerbread spices.

I came back from London just in time to celebrate Easter with my family. This year I wanted to do something a bit creative. Inspired by Sweetapolita, I decided to make my own easter nests, made out of meringue. Something about edible easter nests appealed to me. And I filled them with chocolate goodies from London.
