Homemade Marzipan Recipe

Step 1

You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.I recommend using a kitchen scale for this recipe.

Step 2

Put the almond flour and powdered sugar (I used Erythritol which I processed in an electric coffee/spice grinder to make powder) in a food processor and blitz until combined and smooth.

Step 3

Add the water (or your favorite liquid sweetener), almond extract, and rose water (optional) and pulse a couple of times until the dough holds together and forms a ball.

Step 4

If the dough is too dry and doesn't hold together, add a tiny bit more water (or syrup). Make sure to add just a little until a thick dough is formed. If it's too sticky and wet, add more almond flour.

Step 5

Take out the marzipan ball and knead it on a clean surface for about 30 seconds. You can now shape it into a log, wrap it up in cling wrap and refrigerate. It will firm up slightly in the refrigerator.

Step 6

If you use agave syrup or corn syrup you should be able to store it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks (probably even longer) or up to 3 months in the freezer. If you are using water you should use it within 10 days or so because it will go bad quicker.
