Marzipan Roll
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Marzipan roll is a moderately sweet dessert with nuts. I know that athletes are allowed to eat this roll, as it's practically harmless for your figure (in reasonable amounts, of course). It turns out not too sweet and very filling. I like that it retains its flavor even two or three days after preparation, so it doesn't have to be eaten fresh. I hope you'll enjoy this marzipan roll recipe :) Good luck! Serve chilled.
