Video Cooking Demonstration and Recipe for Home made Almond Paste made in the Thermochef. This versatile confectionary is used as an undercoat for Fondant in Cake Decorating to prevent the cake colour from bleeding into the Fondant. Its used in sweets, pastries, table decorations biscuits and cakes. Here we show you how to make it quickly and easily. In other videos we will show you how to use it in different recipes. You can buy this product ready made but we don't like the artificial overpowering taste of Marzipan or Artificial Almond Essence. This sweet home made variety, we believe tastes much nicer than store bought and if you have almonds and sugar you can make it, very economically, in a few minutes. Some people shy away from formally decorated cakes because of a dislike for Almond Paste, we think our version enhances and positively adds to the cake tasting experience. We do hope you give it a try.
INGREDIENTS:
500 grams blanched almonds
500 grams icing sugar (confectioners sugar)
1 egg white
10 grams pure vanilla extract.
Method:
Blitz Almonds on speed 7 for 1 minute, scraping down sides frequently. Add sugar and continue to mix on speed 3 stopping every 15-30 seconds to unclump from the bottom, add vanilla extract egg white and mix until well blended. It will be a very stiff mix. Turn onto board and knead until smooth. Store in fridge and use as required.
