The homemade almond paste recipe is a simple home preparation that proves to be very useful for the creation of various desserts.

Starting simply from almonds and sugar, we can quickly obtain this paste, which is the same as the one we’re used to buying ready-made at not-so-cheap prices.

We can use it as I did in the “almond cake”, for a delicious custard with an intense almond flavor, or even to prepare ice creams and semifreddos at home.

It also has the advantage of being able to be stored in the fridge for a long time, so we’ll have it available in case we want to improvise a dessert that requires its use.

A recipe definitely worth noting among those that are interesting and save us money.

I suggest you try it by substituting hazelnuts for almonds.

Ingredients

7 oz almonds (blanched whole)
7 oz sugar
1/4 cup water

Tools

Pan non-stick 10-inch diameter
Spoon wooden
Blenders / Mixers

Steps

Start making the homemade almond paste recipe by preparing the almonds we will need without skins.
If you still need to remove it, just immerse our nuts in a bowl of boiling water for no less than 5 minutes. Then drain and peel them.
Put on the heat a large non-stick pan with the sugar and water inside and over high heat, wait for the sugar to dissolve.
In this phase, do not stir.
When the sugar turns golden, after about 5 minutes, add the almonds and stir with the wooden spoon, slightly lowering the heat.
Wait for the sugar to be completely melted and the almonds to be caramelized.
At this point, turn off the heat and pour everything onto parchment paper placed on a baking sheet or a marble slab.
Spread the almonds and when cold, blend them in the mixer after breaking the large pieces that have formed into smaller parts.
Blend with frequent pauses for about 10 minutes or less, until we have obtained a dense amber cream.
The homemade almond paste recipe is now complete.
