Original Recipe Yield 2 cups
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond paste
  • 2 egg whites
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, knead almond paste to soften. Mix in egg whites. Knead in confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time. Add vanilla. Knead until marzipan feels like heavy pie dough.
  2. Wrap tightly in plastic, and store in refrigerator in a sealed container. To use after storage, let stand at room temperature until soft, then knead briefly.

Footnotes

  • A few drops of food coloring may be kneaded into portions of marzipan until the desired shade is achieved.
  • If marzipan stiffens up, just knead in a little water, egg white or corn syrup.
