Started with ground blanched almonds, so I had to guesstimate the quantities, but it turned out perfectly. <1 minute pulsing in the food processor for a world of almondy deliciousness. Yum!

Very good consistency and easy marzipan.

I made this for less than half the price of buying a tube of it at the grocery. Same great taste, same consistency as store-bought. Great recipe, thanks Lainey!
