Homemade Almond Paste
When a recipe she wanted to try called for almond paste, Anne Keenan of Nevada City, California decided to make her own. "It saves the expense of the store-bought kind," she says, "and results in a lighter baked product."
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups blanched almonds
- 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 egg white
- 1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Good recipe. I used almond flour instead of the almonds. It works the same.
I was making a recipe that needed almond paste. This recipe was easy to make and turned out like the picture. This is the first I've ever used almond paste and was pleased with the results.
Very delicious and easy to make recipe . I made this last December for a cake decoration I went to a few stores couldn’t find any , online is a little price so I decided to make it and like I said delicious I truly recomend this . I’m making more for a cake I’m making for my boss this week . Thanks for share this recipe
I needed almond paste to make galette des rois in the US which required half cup of almond paste. Went to 2 stores. First didn't have it. 2nd one cost an arm and a leg. This recipe is delicious and easy. I've returned to it time and again. Finally felt the need to give it a 5-star review cause it deserves one.
I went to buy the almond paste at the store. They didn't have it. I loved this recipe. It was so easy. I didn't have a food processor so I used my blender. It worked out just fine. This almond paste was added to my peach cobbler. It was very wonderful.
I priced almond paste at the grocery store and read the ingredients….more sugar than almonds and very expensive. This recipe worked wonderfully and quickly. I used whole almonds, not blanched since the whiteness of the paste was not important for my baking project. (topping for a Colomba di Pasqua sweet bread) Thanks so much for this recipe. It is a real money saver for me.
I've never used Almond Paste , just heard the name of it. I Love almonds and eat them every day. Can this be used as a spread on toast. Or is Almond Paste basically used as an ingredient in other recipes, such as desserts ?
i do alot of recipes and one thing i dont have is a food processor what do you do when it calls for one for the recipes
