Ingredients

  • 1 can (8 ounces) almond paste
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 6 to 8 drops red food coloring
  • 6 to 8 drops green food coloring
  • ¼ cup seedless red raspberry jam
  • ¼ cup apricot preserves
  • 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Spray the donut trays with baking spray.
  • Place almond paste in a large bowl & cream with butter, sugar and egg yolks until light. Stir in flour. In another mixing bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add into dough, mixing until completely blended.
  • Divide dough into three portions (about 1-1/3 cups each). Color one portion with red food coloring and one with green; leave the remaining portion uncolored.
  • Place each dough portion into separate Ziploc bags. Cut a very small piece of the bottom corner of each bag. In 2 separate bags, add apricot preserves to one & raspberry jam to the other. Cut a very small piece of the bottom corner of those bags as well.
  • Starting with the green bag, squeeze a small amount of dough into the doughnut tray wrapping around the center. Next repeat using the raspberry jam. Continue that step in the following order: white dough, apricot preserves, & red dough.
  • Bake at 350 F for 10-12 minutes.
  • Let cool completely.
  • In medium mixing bowl, microwave chocolate & stir until smooth. Spread over top layer & allow to harden. Serve & enjoy!
