Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius (374 degrees Fahrenheit) fan.
Cut the marzipan into smaller pieces and put them in a mixing bowl along with the powdered sugar. Mix the marzipan and powdered sugar well and gradually add the egg whites until you have a delicious and slightly sticky dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly powdered sugar-dusted surface.
Divide the dough into 3 pieces and roll them out into sausages about 1 - 1.5 centimeters thick.
Form each sausage into a triangle and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake the shaped kransekage triangles in a conventional oven at 190 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
When the kransekage is lightly golden, remove them and place them on a cooling rack.
Once the kransekage has cooled, brush the bottom with melted chocolate and let the chocolate set. Before adding a light and beautiful icing pattern on the top.
Now place the decorated kransekage triangles on top of each other to form a star.
Serve on a beautiful platter decorated for New Year's.

This was my first attempt at kransekage. My dough was likely a bit too wet and kneaded too little. However, it tasted delightful.
