Toot (Persian Marzipan)
Description
Toot (Persian Marzipan) is made by blending almond flour with powdered sugar and gradually adding rosewater until a non-sticky, workable dough forms. This dough can be tinted with food coloring if desired. Small portions are shaped into cones, rolled in granulated sugar for texture and sweetness, then decorated with a pistachio sliver as a stem, mimicking the look of mulberries. The delicate flavor is defined by the floral notes of rosewater combined with the nuttiness of almond. These sweets are typically arranged on a platter and served as a light, aromatic treat.
The texture should be pliable yet firm enough to hold shape without sticking to your hands. Storing in an airtight container at room temperature preserves freshness up to a week. Adding a bit more rosewater can soften the dough if it feels dry. The presentation mimics naturally shaped fruit, adding artistic charm to this confection.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup almond flour
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp rosewater more if needed
- Food Coloring optional
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp pistachios slivered
Instructions
- In a bowl mix the almond flour with powdered sugar.
- Add the rosewater, one tablespoon at a time and mix until the dough comes together. You can first mix using a spoon and then your hands. The dough is ready once it doesn't stick to your hands and is pliable.
- If you'd like to use food coloring, divide the dough into 2-3 pieces and dye each piece with your favorite color.
- To shape, grab about a teaspoon of the mixture and shape it into a cone. Roll the cone in granulated sugar and the stick the pistachio sliver into the fat end of the cone so it resembles a stem.
- Arrange all on a small platter.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.
- If the dough feels dry or crumbly, gradually add more rosewater to achieve a pliable consistency.
