This Easy Homemade Marzipan will take your baking to the next level! It\u2019s a quick and simple recipe that will bring delicious almond flavor to your cakes and cookies. It\u2019s also easily colored and shaped into fun decorations!<\/p>\n

I never ate anything almond-flavored growing up. Once I got into baking, I realized how amazing almonds are for just about anything! Some of my favorite almond recipes include these delicious Almond Cookies<\/a>, this scrumptious Almond Cherry Bread<\/a>, and this simple Almond Joy Poke Cake<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is Marzipan?<\/h2>\n

If you had to ask this question, you are not alone! The first time I\u2019d ever even heard of marzipan was on a baking show on television! It\u2019s basically a sweetened almond paste dough. The texture is smooth, and it\u2019s made up of almonds, sugar, and water. Some people also put eggs and corn syrup, but I choose not to when I\u2019m making it at home. If you don\u2019t feel comfortable working with raw eggs than this recipe is for you! You blend it all up in a food processor and it has many uses. It is mostly used to add flavor to baked goods, but sometimes it is also colored and used as decoration like fondant.<\/p>\n

It is used often in Germany, and one recipe that I love making that calls for marzipan is stollen bread<\/a>. Surprisingly it tastes amazing in pineapple cake<\/a> and even chocolate cake! You can also include it in things like sugar cookies<\/a>, truffles, and challah bread<\/a>. It is a really versatile ingredient that is so fun to play with. It has the perfect amount of sweetness and a really nice almond flavor.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n

This homemade marzipan recipe is a breeze! You don\u2019t have to worry about things like blanched almonds, raw egg whites. This is a vegan marzipan recipe that really keeps things simple and delicious! Instead of using finely ground almonds, I like to find some fine almond flour. I use powdered sugar as a sweetener, but maple syrup would also be a great option. You can find the measurements below in the recipe card.<\/p>\n
