What is marzipan?

Marzipan is a sweet paste/dough prepared from powdered almonds and sugar. There are many variants for this recipe – you may even prepare this with ground cashews, but for this version we have prepared marzipan with powdered almonds and yes, this recipe is 100% egg free. Plus it is very quick and easy to prepare.

Marzipan candies can be enjoyed as it is or you can even use this for your cake/cookies toppers, or can even cover your cakes with it. Marzipan chocolates are equally popular and it is very easy to make Mazipan Chocolates – shape these marzipan into balls and dip in melted chocolate.

What are the ingredients for marzipan?

Traditionally marzipan is prepared with these ingredients :

almond/cashew powder
egg whites
sugar/honey
rose water or almond extract (for the flavour)

But, instead we have used :

powdered almonds
icing sugar
few drops of water
vanilla essence

Step by Step Recipe

For marzipan dough/paste

  • Soak almonds in hot water for 30 minutes. Drain excess water, peel skin and pat them dry. Once dry, grind them in a mixer.
  • In a bowl, sift and combine powdered almonds and icing sugar in a bowl.

  • Add vanilla essence.
  • Gradually add water and knead to a stiff and smooth dough. Add ¼ teaspoon water each time and keep mixing and kneading.
  • Do not over mix the dough, since almonds will release oil and dough will become sticky.
  • Once done, cover it with a cling wrap and keep refrigerated until you need it.
  • Alternatively, you may even start making marzipan candies from it right away.

For marzipan candies

  • Divide the dough in equal portions – this will depend on how many colors and flavours you are using. We are preparing 3 varieties – red strawberry candies, green candies and chocolate candies.
  • Add colors of your choice and mix till color is combined well. As we have mentioned earlier, we are using red and green food colours. For the chocolate marzipan candies, we have added cocoa powder to our dough, quantity of cocoa powder will depend on how much intense taste of chocolate you prefer plus the quantity of your almond paste dough.
  • Dust silicon moulds with icing sugar and fill each section of mould with small portion of the dough.
  • Press gently and refrigerate the mould for 10-15 minutes.
  • You can even shape these candies with your hands.
  • After 10-15 minutes, demould the candies from silicon moulds and let them dry at room temperature for 3-4 hours. Do not cover.
  • After 3-4 hours, store in an air-tight container. They will stay good at room temperature for a week, then transfer to refrigerator for another 10-12 days.
