Marzipan Recipe
Marzipan is very expensive to buy in the grocery store, and is often dry and flavorless. Homemade marzipan is cheaper than pre-made, is super easy to make and tastes much better. This recipes makes enough marzipan to cover an 8"x3" cake.
Ingredients
- 7 oz almond paste (see note)
- 2 oz light corn syrup (1/4 cup)
- 8 oz confectioner's sugar (approximately)
Instructions
- 1
In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix 7 oz almond paste and 2 oz light corn syrup on low speed until it forms a smooth paste. If working by hand use a wooden spoon to mix until combined.

Scrape the bowl. With the mixer running on low speed add 1/2 of the confectioner's sugar. If mixing by hand stir half the sugar. Turn the dough out onto a surface generously sprinkled with confectioner's sugar. Knead the remaining sugar into the marzipan. Continue adding additional powdered sugar to achieve the desired consistency (see note).
