- 1¾ cup icing sugar
- 1 egg white , beaten (optional)
- 1 tablespoon floral water (orange blossom water, rose water, vanilla extract or any alcohol), optional
Equipment

- In a food processor, grind the almonds until reduced to a fine powder.
- In a bowl, combine this almond powder and icing sugar.
- Stir in the egg white while mixing (optional), then add the floral water (optional).
- Knead the almond paste until obtaining a smooth, homogeneous and compact paste.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 2 hours, then refrigerate for at least an hour until needed.
- There are two ways to shape marzipan:- either by working pieces of the preparation of equal weight to form balls.- or by forming sausages that are cut into slices before tasting.
Notes
- Marzipan can be stored in the refrigerator for at least two weeks when wrapped in parchment paper or aluminum foil.If the marzipan becomes a little too solid, it can be mixed with a little water (and possibly a little icing sugar) until getting the desired consistency.
- The German version typically does not contain any eggs.
