Marzipan Recipe
This easy 3-ingredient almond marzipan recipe is delicious and egg-free, making it suitable for vegan food lovers.
The marzipan tastes nutty, sweet ( but not too sweet) and the texture reminds me somewhat of that of cookie dough. It should come as no surprise that marzipan is one of my favorite holiday sweets!
During the holidays, especially in December, Dutch supermarkets are filled with delicious marzipans of all shapes and colors. I had always bought my marzipan in the supermarket until I figured out how easy it was to make it myself!
Another big plus is that most of the time your homemade marzipan costs way less than a store-bought marzipan, and it tastes exactly the same (or better)!
