Ingredients

  • 2 cups blanched almonds
  • 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 egg whites
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, process the almonds and sugar until powdery, about 1 minute. Add the egg whites, butter and extract. Process until the mixture forms a ball. 

  2. Wrap in almond paste in plastic wrap and refrigerate. The paste will last in a refrigerator for at least a month and forever if frozen. (I'm not really sure if it lasts forever, but it lasts a long time).
