Follow The Directions

01

Step
3 mins

In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the sifted confectioners' sugar, finely ground blanched almonds, egg whites, salt, and almond extract. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Process the mixture continuously until a smooth, homogenous paste forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even blending. (5-10 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Transfer the marzipan dough to an airtight container. (2 minutes)

04

Step
24 hrs

Cover tightly and chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the marzipan to firm up. (24 hours)

For the finest texture, ensure your blanched almonds are ground very finely. A food processor or spice grinder works best.
If the marzipan is too sticky after chilling, knead in a little extra confectioners' sugar until it reaches the desired consistency.
Flavor variations: Experiment with other extracts, such as vanilla or rosewater, to create unique marzipan flavors.
Food coloring can be added when kneading.
