Ingredients
- 9 ounces blanched almonds 250 gr
- 1 - 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar 150 gr
- 1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
- water
Instructions
-
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, add blanched almonds and powdered sugar. Process until mixture comes together. If the mixture is too dry add one teaspoon of water at a time and continue to process until smooth. Add 1/4 teaspoon almond extract.
To Blanch Almonds
-
Place almonds in a bowl. Pour boiling water over top just to cover. Let stand until the water cools enough to handle. Take one almond at a time and pinch one end. The skin should slip right off. Continue removing skins from all of the almonds. Place blanched almonds in a strainer to drain off any excess water.
Recipe Notes
- Weigh or measure almonds after blanching.
- If marzipan mixture seems to be too oily, add additional powdered sugar 1 tablespoon at a time until mixture is smooth and holds together without looking oily.
- Add water a teaspoon at a time until the mixture is smooth and forms a nice ball of marzipan.
- Wrap marzipan in plastic wrap tightly. Refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
- Marzipan freezes very well for a month or more. Wrap in plastic wrap and then in foil. Seal tightly.
