  • Similar to marzipan, almond paste is less granular and contains less sugar. Marzipan is more pliable so it can be used form specialty shapes.
  • Use almond paste in in cookies, cakes, candies and pastries. It is particularly popular in Europe.
  • Store indefinitely refrigerated. If the paste gets too hard you can heat it gently to soften it again.
