Marzipan is typically made from finely ground blanched (skinless) almonds, confectioners’ sugar, egg whites and almond extract to intensify flavor. When the almonds are finely ground, the oil in the nuts combines with the sugar and egg whites, transforming the mixture into smooth, pliable marzipan that’s easy to mold or roll into a flexible sheet.Marzipan has a very sweet, nutty almond flavor. Its texture is soft, chewy and slightly rough due to the ground up almonds.Marzipan is sold in logs that are ready to be shaped into fruits, veggies or little animals as decorations – or just cut or rolled and dipped in chocolate.It can also be used like fondant to cover a cake.Marzipan is ready-to-eat, whereas almond paste is typically used as a baking ingredient, folded into pastries like cookies or croissants.
