Fistik Ezmesi

Fistik Ezmesi is Turkish marzipan.

It’s green because it’s made from pistachios, not almonds, as other marzipan is. In fact, it doesn’t even use any almond flavouring at all, though it does use a great deal of sugar.

It’s used in cookies, cakes, and various desserts.

Cooking Tips

1 cup (4 oz / 125g) of shelled pistachio nuts
1 cup (7 oz / 200g) of icing sugar
9 to 10 tablespoons of water

Pulse the pistachios in a food processor until they are resemble a fine flour. Add the sugar, and whiz in. Add the water a tablespoon or two at a time, until you have a thick paste that will mould easily but still hold its shape.

To make a version less green, soak the shelled pastachios overnight, then rub the green skins off with a towel.
