Make delicious, pliable marzipan from scratch in minutes using just a few simple ingredients. This recipe is egg-free and perfect for shaping figures or covering cakes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons liquid sweetener (like corn syrup or liquid glucose)
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1-2 teaspoons water (if needed)

Instructions

  1. Combine the almond flour and powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk them together until fully mixed.
  2. Add the liquid sweetener and almond extract to the dry ingredients.
  3. Mix the ingredients with a spoon, then switch to using your hands to knead the mixture until a smooth, uniform dough forms.
  4. If the dough seems too dry or crumbly, add water, half a teaspoon at a time, kneading well after each addition until the marzipan holds together firmly.
  5. Wrap the marzipan tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before using it for shaping or decorating.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute 1/2 cup of the almond flour with finely ground blanched almonds, but the texture may be slightly less smooth.
  • To color the marzipan, knead in small amounts of gel food coloring until you reach your desired shade.
  • This recipe is naturally egg-free and vegan because it uses liquid sweetener instead of egg whites.
  • Use this marzipan immediately for rolling out thin sheets for cake covering or shape it into small fruits or candies.
