Homemade Marzipan (Marzipan Paste)

Paired with chocolate and fruit, it's finger-licking good! As they say in the West, marzipan is wonderful all on its own — and combined with chocolate, fruit, or jam, it's downright irresistible. People turn marzipan into lovely candies and even cakes, sculpt figurines and glaze them; sometimes the results are genuine works of art. The most interesting part is that it all starts from a single base — the marzipan wins on the imagination of whoever shapes it. Here's the recipe for that base, top-secret though it may be.

  • First, set up your workspace. Take a wide board and dust it with powdered sugar. Set a large bowl of cold water nearby. Pour the sugar into a large saucepan and add two-thirds of the water. Heat over low, stirring constantly, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Add the cream of tartar and bring to a boil. Cook, covered, for 3 minutes, then uncover and cook until it reaches the caramel stage. Set the pan into the bowl of cold water and keep stirring the sugar mixture until it thickens. Fold in the ground almonds and egg whites while the mixture is still slightly warm, but not fully cooled — otherwise it will be very hard to combine. Spread the mixture onto the prepared board, smooth it with a spatula, and let it cool completely. Then sprinkle on the powdered sugar and knead the marzipan until it's soft, smooth, and pliable enough to shape. Store the base in an airtight container, wrapped in plastic wrap.
