Make smooth, sweet marzipan from scratch in minutes using simple ingredients. This no-cook recipe is perfect for cake decorating, candy making, or holiday treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons water (or milk/rose water for flavor variation)

Instructions

  1. Combine the almond flour and powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk them together until fully mixed.
  2. Add the almond extract to the dry ingredients.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of water. Mix with a spoon or spatula until the mixture starts to come together into a crumbly dough.
  4. If the mixture is too dry, add the remaining water, half a teaspoon at a time, until the dough forms a cohesive ball that is no longer sticky.
  5. Knead the dough briefly on a clean surface until it is smooth and pliable.
  6. 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 vegan option, ensure you use water or a plant-based milk instead of dairy milk.
  • If you prefer a different flavor, substitute the almond extract with a few drops of rose water or vanilla extract.
  • If the marzipan feels sticky after kneading, add a small amount of extra powdered sugar.
  • You can color the marzipan using gel food coloring before shaping.
