In this movie I show you how to make Marzipan. Use the same volume amount of powder sugar and almonds. Once you mix everything the paste will not have the correct consistency until you add the fluids. Use the same amount of almond extract as you would use for baking a cake. The most important ingredient is in my opinion the bourbon. I slowly add a small amount, mix, test the consistency of the paste, then add more until the marcipan is to your liking.

If you cannot enjoy alcohol, you may use less than a teaspoon of rose water.

To make this recipe perfect, you can cover small pieces with dark chocolate.

  • Thanks alooooot for this vid!!!!!! Its the only vid here that actually give u the recipe how to make it!! Thanks alot!!! Is there anything else i can use instead of the bourbon or rose water? Dont like alcohol and cant find rose water??! :(

  • @BRENDA24ES Well, I don't like rosewater, and I mostly use alcohol to conserve the marcipan. I never tried anything else, but I imagine that fruit juice would work.

  • @BRENDA24ES where do you live, that there is no rosewater available. Do you have any middle eastern supermarkets in your area?

  • what can we use instead of almond extract???

  • @enigmaencantadora Just make it without almond extract. Do you have problems finding almond extract? Where do you live?

  • @enigmaencantadora you can make your own almond extract. google "how to make almond extract"

  • Folks, you DON'T need bourbon to make marzipan; only blanched almonds, powdered sugar, almond extract and that's it for the basic paste. I'm a pastry chef so take it from me. NO BOURBON!

  • Great vid but edit it next time. 8 minutes is WAY too long dude.

see all
