A simple recipe to add that special touch. Marzipan can be rolled and used to cover a cake, or to make decorations.

Ingredients

1 cup Almond Paste
2 ea Egg Whites From Large Eggs
3 cups Confectioners Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla


 

Instructions
 1. In a large bowl, knead almond paste to soften. Mix in egg whites. Knead in confectioner's sugar 1 cup at a time, blending well between additions. Add vanilla. Knead until marzipan feels like heavy pie dough.

2. Wrap tightly in plastic and store in refrigerator in a sealed container.

3. To use after storage, let stand at room temperature until soft, then knead briefly before using.

NOTES:A few drops of food coloring may be kneaded into portions of marzipan until the desired shade is achieved.

If marzipan stiffens up, just knead in a little water, egg white, or corn syrup.
