Description

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond meal/flour
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar
• 1 egg white
• 2 teaspoons pure almond extract
• 1 teaspoon rose water
• Red gel food coloring
• Green gel food coloring

Directions

• In a food processor, pulse the almond meal/four and powdered sugar until theyre mixed together.
• Add the egg white, almond extract, and rose water to the food processor. Process until a ball of marzipan (it will look like dough) is formed.
• Remove the marzipan and place onto your work surface. Knead it a few times (you may need to add some powdered sugar because itll be sticky), and then divide it into 3 balls if you plan on coloring it. Place 2 of the balls each into a small bowl. Add the food coloring and stir it in until its mixed in evenly. Form each color of marzipan into a ball (youll likely need to add icing sugar to do this).
• Work with each ball of marzipan at a time. Roll each ball out, cut out shapes, and then repeat until all the marzipan is used.
• If your egg whites are pretty fresh, marzipan should last at least a week (if not a few weeks) if kept in a sealed container in the fridge.
