Ingredients
– 200g blanched almonds provides the base flavor and texture essential to marzipan.
– 150g powdered sugar sweetens the marzipan evenly without graininess.
– 1 tbsp almond extract enhances the natural almond aroma.
– 2 tbsp corn syrup or honey binds the mixture together for pliability.
– Additional flavorings such as a few drops of almond extract or teaspoons of rose water to enhance taste as desired.
Instructions
1-Gather and measure all ingredients precisely, including 200 grams of blanched almonds, 70 grams of sugar, and any flavorings like a few drops of almond extract.
2-Grind the blanched almonds finely using a food processor for a smooth texture, adapting the grind size to preference and avoiding over-processing to prevent a buttery consistency.
3-Mix powdered sugar with the ground almonds thoroughly to distribute sweetness evenly, ensuring the sugar content reaches up to 35% of the mixture.
4-Add almond extract and syrup gradually, kneading the mixture until it forms a smooth, pliable dough; for vegan versions, use appropriate substitutes to maintain the balance.
5-Shape the marzipan into desired forms or roll it out for use in recipes, then wrap tightly to preserve freshness.
6-Refrigerate the marzipan for at least one hour to set before serving or using in desserts, allowing it to hold shapes better during molding.
