Marzipan
Servings: 450 g
Delicious home-made vegan marzipan is the way to go! Incredibly easy using only three ingredients, plus it's less expensive than the shop bought stuff.
INGREDIENTS LIST
- 150 g blanched almonds
- 1 pinch of fine sea salt
- 180 g icing sugar (US powdered sugar)
- 80-100 ml liquid sweetener or water (6-8 tbsp)
- ¼ tsp almond extract
- ¼ tsp rose water (Optional. Use rosewater sparingly, it has a strong taste if you’re not used to it.)
Preparation
- Place the blanched almonds into a food processor and pulse until the almonds are finly ground.
- Add a pinch of salt, the icing sugar, the almond extract and rose water (if using). Mix again until combined.
- While running the machine, slowly add one teaspoon at a time of liquid sweetener or water until the mixture is smooth and a dough forms. If it becomes too wet, you can add a little more icing sugar. If you wish to colour your marzipan, you can add the food colouring at this point.
- Turn out onto a countertop and Knead into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap, and place in the fridge. If you are not using it straight away then place it in an airtight container.
- Bring to room temperature before using in recipes.
