Ingredients
180g Almond Flour
140g Sugar and Crumbs Cherry Bakewell Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar
40ml Water or Liquid Sweetener. We used Agave Nectar
1/2-1 Tsp Almond Extract (optional)
1 Tsp Rose Water (optional)
Instructions
- Put the Almond Flour and Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar into the food processor and blitz until it is combined and smooth.
- Add the water or the liquid sweetener, (almond extract and rose water optional )
- Pulse the mixture a few times until the dough starts to hold together. Then by hand mould the dough together into a ball.
- If the dough is too dry and doesn’t hold together, add a tiny bit more water or syrup if used until the dough is formed.
- Knead the marzipan ball on a clean surface for 30 seconds. Shape into a log , wrap it in clingfilm and refrigerate as this will firm it up slightly.
- If you use the Agave Syrup you will be able to store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or 3 months in the freezer. If you use water you should use it within 10 days.
