    An easy keto marzipan recipe that you can use for your low carb dessert recipes and sweet snacks or candies. A sugar free and gluten-free treat for the holidays.

    With no raw egg whites in this recipe, not only is it keto vegan, it means it will be easier to store and last longer.

    Marzipan is a personal love of mine, and is tied to my German grandmother as she gave it to us as a sweet treat for Christmas. Chocolate covered marzipan logs and cakes with marzipan shapes fruits featured a lot in my childhood. As did sugar!

    Carbs in Marzipan

    Store-bought marzipan made with sugar has 52g carbohydrates per 100g serving. Swap the sugar for a low carb sweetener and the carbs come down to 17g per 100g.

    Ingredients

    Just 4 ingredients are needed to make sugar free marzipan.

    keto marzipan ingredients
    • Almond flour - this needs to be finely ground as you don't want gritty marzipan.
    • Allulose - we use this powdered low carb sweetener but you could use powdered monk fruit or powdered erythritol. If you don't have powdered sweetener you can make your own by grinding granular in a coffee grinder. A sugar free liquid sweetener would work too.
    • Rose water - this helps gives the marzipan a subtle floral smell and flavor.
    • Almond extract - enhances the almond taste of marzipan

    Rose water is another flavor from my time in the Middle East and my cupboard will always have a bottle of it, just in case. The light delicate flavor of rose water does not over power the almond flavor but enhances it for the marzipan flavor we all enjoy.

    How to Make Keto Marzipan

    When I found out how easy it is to make homemade marzipan by just swapping the sugar of the traditional marzipan recipe for low carb sweetener there was a few curse words. I love, love marzipan and had been avoiding it for a while, suspecting that it was a mouthful of sugar.

    Making a sugar free marzipan is as simple as processing finely ground blanched almond with low carb sweeter, almond extract and rose water.

    If the nut mixture is not binding, add a tablespoon or two of water.

    Recipe Tips & Suggestions

    This sugar-free marzipan recipe could be made with blanched almonds if you don't have almond flour. It may take a bit longer to process. Almond meal will not work as it's too coarse and has the almond skins in it.

    For a softer and more rollable version, try a low carb sugar almond paste recipe. Both recipes are dairy-free too.

    Storage

    Keep the marzipan log in the fridge in plastic wrap and it should last up to 5 weeks. It's great to have to hand over the holidays for a sweet treat or baking decoration.

    Recipes Using Sugar Free Marzipan

    You can make marzipan candies, marzipan cookies, covered rolled sections in dark chocolate or use it in low carb and gluten-free cake baking.

      Does 1 1/2 cups blanched almonds equate to 1 1/2 cup almond flour. Doesn't seem like it would be equal.. Thanks.
