Homemade Marzipan

60 minutes

Homemade marzipan is the embodiment of European tradition in a simple and refined dessert. Its roots go back to the Middle Ages when almond paste was valued for its richness and texture. The sweet aroma of almonds, the delicate combination of sugar syrup and powdered sugar give marzipan a velvety consistency and a light, nutty sweetness. It is used for decorating cakes, making candies, or simply enjoyed on its own. When colored, it becomes a base for confectionery art, allowing for the creation of figures and decor. This delightful product pairs perfectly with coffee and dessert wines, making each bite a small celebration.
