Almond Paste Recipe (4 ingredients, so easy!)
Servings 20
This almond paste recipe only calls for four ingredients, is much cheaper than store-bought and just takes minutes to make!
Ingredients
- 2 1/3 cups (231 grams) blanched almond flour or 1 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon (231 grams) blanched almonds
- 1 1/4 cups (136 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 (32 grams egg white) large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
If using almond flour:
- Place everything in a food processor and pulse until totally combined. It comes together very quickly. Or mix by hand in a large bowl.
If using blanched almonds:
- Place the almonds and 3/4 cup powdered sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with an S-blade.
- Process until very finely ground but do not overmix.
- Add the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar and process until well combined.
- Add the egg white, almond extract and salt and pulse until a big clump forms. This is your almond paste.
- It shouldn't be very sticky. If it is (which could happen if your almond flour is coarse), you can add a little sugar at a time unless it's less sticky.
For both versions:
- Form it into a log and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Store in the fridge for up to 3-4 weeks or freeze for up to 6 months.
