Marzipan and Jam Filled Bones
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup raspberries
- Splash lemon juice
- 1 ounce pectin
- 1 teaspoon chile powder
- 3 1/2 pounds white chocolate, melted
- Special equipment: bone-shape chocolate molds
- For the marzipan: In a food processor, blend the flour, confectioners' sugar and almond extract until a paste forms, then transfer to a piping bag and set aside.
- For the jam: Pour 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar into a medium pot set over medium heat.
- Add the raspberries and the lemon juice and mix together, then bring to a boil.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar with the pectin to prevent clumping.
- Once the fruit mixture comes to a boil, add in the pectin mixture and chile powder, and continue boiling for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- Transfer the cool jam to a piping bag.
- Fill the chocolate molds with the melted chocolate and knock them carefully on a hard surface to release any air bubbles.
- Pour out excess chocolate back into the bowl of melted chocolate.
- Scrape the flat portion of the mold to clean off any excess chocolate.
- Chill until the chocolate hardens.
- Pipe a thin layer of the marzipan paste inside the center of the bone, and then a thin piping of raspberry red chile jam, leaving a little bit of space at the top.
- Top with more melted white chocolate, then chill and unmold once set.
- Serve cold or at room temperature.
