Whip up smooth, sweet homemade marzipan in minutes using just a few simple ingredients. This no-cook almond paste recipe is perfect for cake decorating, making candies, or enjoying as a quick dessert treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 tablespoon water (or more, as needed)

Instructions

  1. Combine the almond flour and powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk them together until they are fully mixed.
  2. Add the almond extract to the dry ingredients.
  3. Pour in 1 tablespoon of water. Mix the ingredients with a spoon or spatula until a crumbly dough forms.
  4. Turn the mixture out onto a clean surface. Knead the dough gently until it comes together into a smooth, pliable ball. If the mixture is too dry, add water, half a teaspoon at a time, until you reach a smooth marzipan texture suitable for sculpting or rolling.
  5. Wrap the marzipan tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before using it for cake decorating or candy making.

Notes

  • For a German marzipan recipe flavor, substitute half the almond extract with a few drops of rose water.
  • If you want to color your marzipan, divide the dough and knead in gel food coloring until the color is uniform.
  • This recipe makes an egg-free marzipan that is excellent for sculpting into figures or using as a sweet almond paste filling.
