History of the Vegan Almond Candies:

Almond candies have a long history, originating in the Middle East and spreading to Europe during the medieval times. Originally made with honey and almonds, almond paste became increasingly popular in the 17th century, when sugar was introduced to Europe. Today, almond candies are enjoyed all over the world in a variety of forms, flavors, and presentations. This particular recipe puts a vegan spin on traditional almond candies, adding a delicious coffee and orange flavor.

Tips and Tricks for Vegan Almond Candies Recipe:

  • Using a food processor or chopper makes the grinding process quicker and easier, but a mortar and pestle can be used instead.
  • If the mixture is too dry to form into candies, add a little bit of water or oil to loosen it up.
  • Chilling the mixture in the refrigerator or freezer before forming into candies will make it easier to work with.
  • Use a non-stick surface or lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar to prevent sticking when rolling the candy.

Tips for presenting the dish:

  • Serve the candies on a decorative platter or in pretty paper liners.
  • Garnish with extra chopped almonds or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
  • Place a few candies in a small gift box or bag for a delicious homemade gift.
