Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 tablespoon water (or more, as needed)
- 1/4 teaspoon rose water (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the almond flour and powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk them together to remove any lumps.
- Add the almond extract and rose water, if using, to the dry ingredients.
- Pour in 1 tablespoon of water. Mix the ingredients with a spoon until a crumbly mixture forms.
- Use your hands to bring the mixture together into a cohesive dough ball. If the dough is too dry, add water, one teaspoon at a time, until it holds together without crumbling. Be careful not to add too much water, or the marzipan will become sticky.
- Knead the marzipan briefly on a clean surface until it is smooth and pliable.
- Wrap the marzipan tightly in plastic wrap. You can use it immediately or chill it for later use in cake decorating or candy making.
Notes
- For a German marzipan recipe style, you can slightly reduce the amount of powdered sugar for a less sweet result.
- If you plan to shape edible marzipan figures, let the dough rest for 30 minutes before working with it.
- You can color the marzipan using gel food coloring for holiday marzipan recipes or cake decorating projects.
