Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 3/4 - 1 cup powdered sugar May substitute with powdered monk fruit sweetener for a refined sugar free version
  • 2 tsp pure almond extract
  • 1 1/2 tbsp date syrup can substitute with another sticky sweetener such as maple syrup.
  • 1 1/2 tbsp purified water
  • Plant-based food coloring

Method
 

  1. Add almond flour and powdered sugar to food processor. Pulse until combined.
  2. Add almond extract, date syrup and water. Mix until a thick dough forms.
  3. Remove dough from food processor and knead for 30 seconds.
  4. If the dough is too sticky add more almond flour 1/2 tbsp at a time. Keep in mind that dough will become firmer after refrigeration.
  5. Place marzipan onto a cutting board or surface and form into a log. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Enjoy!
Making Marzipan Flowers
  1. Cut marzipan into three parts - two large and one small piece. Add a few drops of food coloring to each. Use colors of your choice. I used blue and green for the flower petals and yellow for the center of the flowers. Knead and add more coloring until desired color is reached.
  2. Using a rolling pin or your hands, roll each section of marzipan into 1/4 inch piece and use a mini flower cutter to make flower shapes in the blue and green dough.
  3. Roll small balls with the yellow dough and place in the center of each flower.
  4. Store in an air tight container. Will keep for at least a month in the refrigerator and up to 6 months in the freezer.
  5. Bring to room temperature before using in any recipe. Makes 12-13 ounces of marzipan or almond paste
