Easy Homemade Marzipan Recipe

Ingredients

This homemade marzipan recipe is easy and vegan-friendly, keeping things simple and delicious. Instead of blanched almonds and raw egg whites, use fine almond flour and powdered sugar, or swap in maple syrup for sweetness. Check the recipe card below for exact measurements.

Fine Almond Flour: You should be able to find this in the special flour section at the grocery store. Powdered Sugar: This is how you sweeten your marzipan while keeping a really smooth texture. Water: This helps to bring all of the ingredients together. Almond Extract: This adds extra almond flavor and tastes like the traditional marzipan recipe. Rose Water: This is optional. I really like it, but it’s not for everyone!

Marzipan Recipe

This homemade marzipan is perfect for the holidays. It’s exactly what you need for your Christmas cake! It’s also amazing for marzipan cookies or for covering your cake. Some people choose to eat it as is with apricot jam! However you choose to use it, you’ll love how simple this recipe is.

Sifting Ingredients: No need to sift the powdered sugar or almond flour as they will be mixed together in the food processor, eliminating any clumps. Almond Flavor: I always recommend tasting your recipe to see if you need to add anything. If you want more almond flavor, add more almond extract. If you don’t love the fan of almond extract flavor, then you can add less or leave it all out together. Using Marzipan: If this is your first time using Marzipan, I will look up some recipes online! Marzipan can be used to make candies, fill pastries, or even rolled out to cover cakes or pastries. People use it like a fondant to cover a cake with a nice smooth finish.

Fridge Store in the fridge wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for up to two weeks. Freezer: Store in the freezer by wrapping tightly in plastic wrap and then in a ziplock bag for up to two months.
