Instructions

  1. 1 Place almonds and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a food processor; process to a meal-like consistency, scraping down the sides and over the bottom of the bowl as needed. Don't overprocess it; at this point, the mixture should still be crumbly, not paste-like.
  2. 2 Add beaten egg white and almond extract; process until it lumps together. If it remains crumbly, add more egg white, a few drops at a time.
  3. 3 Use a silicone spatula to remove almond paste from the food processor. If not using right away, wrap almond paste in waxed paper and store in an airtight container to use within a few hours. Or, place wrapped almond paste in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 6 months.
