Nice tip!

I tried this method to peel my almonds, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. 🤨🤔😞

Michael Trent thanks bud! Yeah I know I want to make a lot more and reading this just now I was like wow I feel like I should get the ball rolling again :) happy holidays man and let me know what you think.. hasta luego!!

Thank you so much!

Thanks bud haha

Dévmon Peti Thanks so much! Hope you enjoyed it

I'm wondering this too

Equal parts of sugar and ground almonds would work.

If I'm understanding the recipe correctly, they are equal parts according to WEIGHT (not cup for cup) of almonds and powdered sugar.

yes, you can do that I think. If you find it too dry once baked add a little water next time. I make mine with almond cream. this is different: ground almonds+ granulated sugar + eggs + butter in equal amounts (no blanching needed) + some almond extract, processed in food processor till smooth - add a little flour for a thicker filling and less that equal part of butter (better in my opinion). The almonds don't have to be ground as fine.

Hello! Thank you for your comment. Yes, absolutely you can use almond flour and save some good time and cleaning of the machine 😅 please enjoy your final product whatever that may be.

Yeah its been a good couple of minutes, but I am here! 😁 what is your question?

Jasón Hey Jasón! that is an egg white in that shot, you can use that or water need be. From my experience an egg white will give you a slightly more elastic texture like if you wanted to roll it out and cover a cake fondant style. Also adding a little bit of corn syrup could do the same effect but I’m not crazy about using that ingredient if I really don’t have to. I do water more often as I usually mix the almost paste into other desserts, like rainbow cookies or almond tarts, to where that slight difference in texture really won’t matter. Sorry for the rant lol egg white is your answer

It'll last a long time in the freezer wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.. id say between 3 and 6 months easy.. probably will last for eternity in a vacuum sealed bag

I believe it is an old Cuisinart. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

Hi there! Marzipan and almond paste are very similar but differ in the ratios of sugar to almonds. Marzipan has a lot more sugar but less almonds compared to almond paste so it’s sweeter and more pliable like fondant. Almond paste has more almonds but less sugar so it’s more coarse and somewhat less sweet lol and this recipe is fine for when it calls for almond paste. Thanks for watching and enjoy your holiday!

@@kosherbacon2478 hi..thank you very much for explaining..yes..happy holidays to you also..and happy baking

@@mystiquerose620 Marzipan uses the same amount of caster sugar and almond meal (ground almonds) you use this for christmas cakes etc :-)

@@kinzalee1 thanks alot for answering 😊

@@kosherbacon2478 Thank you so much for a great recipe and tutorial on almond paste. I have fine almond flour. Can I use it instead of blanched almonds?

Carol Ann Mancuso start off with half a tablespoon and then add a little bit at a time until it becomes one smooth piece. Be careful not to add too much or it will be more like a spread and less like a log. Thanks for watching and happy holidays!! :)
