How to Make Marzipan Squares 1968

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 7x11 inch brownie pan with the pie pastry.
  2. Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the unbaked pastry.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the rice flour and salt, mixing until just incorporated.
  6. Divide the batter evenly into three separate bowls.
  7. Stir in green food coloring into one bowl until you reach your desired shade of green.
  8. Stir in red food coloring into another bowl until you achieve a nice pink color.
  9. Leave the third bowl of batter white.
  10. Drop spoonfuls of each colored batter over the jam-topped pastry, creating a marbled effect. Distribute the batters evenly.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the marzipan is set.
  12. Let the squares cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  13. For the frosting, beat together the softened butter, milk, almond extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  14. Frost the top of the cooled marzipan squares.
  15. Cut into small squares and serve.
