Marzipan is one of those love it or hate it foods and I fall firmly into the love it camp. Even as a child, I found that intensely almond flavored confection delicious, and was very taken with the colorful animals, and fruits, and other fun shapes people made with it.
And I’ve long adored almond croissants, filled with marzipan’s slightly more coarse cousin, almond paste. There was a time I would have considered both of these things off limits on my keto diet.

If you’re confused about the difference between marzipan and almond paste, you aren’t alone. They are very similar in taste, texture, and function and many people mix them up.
Recipes With Almond Paste For A Nutty Twist
The difference comes down mainly to sweeteness, as conventional marzipan has a higher sugar content than almond paste. They are a little different in consistency as well, since almond paste is typically made with blanched almonds, whereas marzipan is made from pre-ground almond flour. The result is that marzipan is a bit more cohesive and fine.
But when it comes to making your own keto marzipan, the differences are pretty minimal. You can make them both from ground almonds or almond flour, you can adjust the sweetener to your taste, and you can add or leave out the rosewater as you see fit.
I don’t like anything too sweet anymore. So I have made the sugar-free marzipan and almond paste with the very same amount of sweetener.

Marzipan is a sweet dough made with almond flour or ground almonds. The traditional marzipan recipe contains sugar, egg white, and rosewater.
Marzipan has a strong sweet almond flavor and is often used to decorate Christmas cake, fruit cakes, Battenberg cake (a light sponge cake covered in marzipan), shaped into candies and dipped in chocolate, or used to fill cookies and pastries.

No. Regular store-bought sweet marzipan is full of added sugar and sometimes even honey too. But with a few low-carb ingredient substitutions, you can easily make homemade keto marzipan.
This is an egg-free marzipan recipe that fits in perfectly with your low-carb diet or keto diet. Each ball only has 1.3 g net carbs, 0.5 g sugar, 2.5 g protein, 5.9 g fat, and 68 calories. A perfect sweet treat for your low-carb diet.
Marzipan (marchpane, marzapane, maçapão, mazapán) is a ground paste of almond flour, sugar, honey, and often has added almond essence (almond extract) to make a strong almond flavor. Low-carb marzipan has a smooth texture for making candies and decorating fruit cakes, wedding cakes, Christmas cakes, or to be used inside stollen, almond croissants, and cookies.

Almond paste is made using equal quantities of almonds and sugar. It often has small quantities of added corn syrup, eggs, heavy cream, and cooking oil. It is not as fine a texture as marzipan and is most commonly used as a filling for cookies, muffins, buns, and almond-filled croissants.
This is a name commonly used in America. Almond candy dough is a mixture of almonds, sugar, glucose syrup, and water. It is used exactly the same way marzipan would be used.
Fondant is a mixture of sugar, water, and often glycerin and gelatin. Fondant can be rolled and used to decorate birthday cakes, wedding cakes, and shaped into animals and candies. Fondant is often rolled and placed on top of marzipan to give a wedding cake the traditional white color rather than the off-white color of marzipan.
Keto Sugar Free Marzipan And Almond Paste
If you don’t have almond flour you can use ground almonds, almond meal, or you can make your own homemade almond flour. Make sure you buy blanched almonds that have had the almond skins removed.
Place whole blanched almonds into your food processor and process until you reach the texture you require. Be careful not to over-process. There is a fine balance between when you have created fine almond flour but if you process it for too long, you will make almond butter.
This has to be the easiest sugar-free marzipan recipe. There are so many delicious keto treats and exciting ways to eat marzipan, you’ll wonder why you ever bought it until now.

1: Place the ingredients into the bowl of your food processor. Pulse to mix the ground almond flour with the sweetener and almond extract (or optional rose water).
2: While the food processor is running, slowly add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to the finely ground almond flour. When it begins to look like wet breadcrumbs, stop adding more water and continue to mix until it looks like cookie dough and forms a ball.
Most almond paste recipes contain raw egg or raw egg whites so storage is limited. This is an egg-free recipe so you can store it in the fridge for up to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Wrap in baking paper or plastic wrap and then in an airtight container.
