Cashew marzipan, an alternative to traditional almond marzipan.

Ingredients

1.	Using a food processor, grind the cashews to make a fine powder. Stop grinding if the powder starts to become oily.
2.	Put the cashews and icing sugar into a large mixing bowl and mix to combine.
3.	Combine the egg whites and vanilla essence and beat lightly. Make a well in the centre of the cashew mixture and add the egg whites. Mix until the dough starts to come together. If it is not firm enough add a bit more icing sugar.
4.	Pour the dough onto a clean surface and knead until you have a firm smooth dough.
5.	Wrap in cling film and store in the fridge or freezer until ready to use. Can be made 2 days ahead and stored in the fridge, or store in the freezer for longer.
