\u00a0Today I share with you one of my most cherished German Christmas recipes! Boozy Marzipan Speculoos Truffles!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Like most of my Christmas recipes, this also happens to be a German recipe. Maybe you can tell by the amounts of marzipan and ground speculoos cookies.<\/div>\n

Looking for an edible gift? Make these easy Marzipan & Speculoos Gingerbread Truffles!<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
These Boozy Marzipan Gingerbread Truffles are the perfect edible present! Trust me, I make this recipe every year and everyone loves it – there are friends of mine who will not see me on Christmas Day without them.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As opposed to chocolate-based truffles, these marzipan truffles hold their shape really well and don’t require cooling! Just put them into a (handcrafted?) box or bag and store them at room temperature until it’s time for presents!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My recipe for these Marzipan Gingerbread Truffles is more than simple! No baking required and no tempering of chocolate. All you have to do is grind some speculoos cookies and knead them into grated marzipan.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As a glue, we use fun ingredients like English orange marmalade, rum, amaretto and gingerbread spice.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

What is gingerbread spice and can I make it myself?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Yes, no one should have to buy that readymade! It’s a simple blend of 1\/2 tsp cinnamon, 1\/4 tsp cloves and 1\/4 tsp nutmeg.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For a more Christmas-y feel, I like to dip my Marzipan Gingerbread Truffles into melted white chocolate to give them that festive look and a slight crunch when you bite into them!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To mix things up a bit, I roll some of my Marzipan Speculoos Gingerbread Truffle in unsweetened coconut flakes right after dipping!<\/div>\n
