Step-by-Step Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: almond flour, unshelled roasted pistachios, and powdered sugar. In a food processor, combine these three and pulse until fine without lumps.
- Add almond extract and optional rum extract to the processor. Pulse for another 30 seconds until well mixed.
- Add the egg white (or vegan substitute) and process for 1 to 2 minutes until a thick dough forms.
- If too wet, gradually incorporate more powdered sugar and almond flour, pulsing until firm and not sticky.
- Add natural green food coloring and pulse until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the marzipan to a dusted surface. Knead for about a minute, shape into a log, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Store tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to a month or freeze for six months. Let come to room temperature before using.
