Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Almond paste — Ensure the almond paste is at room temperature before mixing it with rum to achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Dark chocolate — Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content for a rich and intense flavor.
  • Green marzipan — If you can't find green marzipan, you can add a drop of green food coloring to regular marzipan and knead it until the desired color is achieved.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a stronger rum flavor, you can brush the marzipan with rum before spreading the almond paste.
  • If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a teaspoon of powdered sugar to the almond paste mixture.
  • To make the Punschrulle more festive, you can sprinkle some colorful edible sprinkles on top of the chocolate coating.
  • Store the Punschrulle in an airtight container in a cool place to maintain their freshness.
  • Serve the Punschrulle with a cup of hot coffee or tea to complement the flavors.

Serving advice

Serve the Punschrulle as a delightful dessert or enjoy them with a cup of coffee during fika, the Swedish tradition of taking a break for coffee and pastries.

Presentation advice

Arrange the Punschrulle on a serving platter, dusted with powdered sugar, and garnished with a sprig of fresh mint for an elegant presentation.
