Marzipan Butter

Today we had some friends over for brunch. I decided to create a waffle bar with lots of toppings options. It was pretty easy to assemble the different nuts, spreads, toppings for everyone to make their own personal masterpieces. I made applesauce, toasted almonds and pecans, pulled out some mini chocolate chips, and made whipped cream in a mason jar (just add cream and sugar then shake, shake, shake, shake!) Obviously, there was also real maple syrup and butter.

Marzipan Butter?

I also had an idea to create a butter using the marzipan paste I bought on a whim recently. I love almond anything, especially those chocolate Mozart balls with marzipan in the middle; or almond croissants.

I thought a marzipan spread would be really delicious on waffles with applesauce, toasted almonds, and whipped cream. And I was right. This butter was a delicious addition to my waffle! The marzipan paste made the spread rich and nutty while the butter allowed it to spread nicely and melt into all of the crevices.

Marzipan butter would also be great on pancakes, toast, crepes, scones, croissants, pound cake — really any baked good. (It’s also fabulous right out of the jar!) I want to try it next paired with raspberry jam for a Linzer torte-ish situation.

Ingredients

  • 4 oz unsalted butter softened
  • 4 oz marzipan paste
  • 1 lemon zested (use zest only)
  • ½ tsp almond extract
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt to taste

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of a food processor (my mini food processor worked perfectly.) Remember you are only using the zest of the lemon. Pulse the mixture together until it becomes a smooth paste with the consistency of hummus. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times before everything mixes well (especially if your butter isn’t quite soft.) Once the mixture is well combined, move to a jar and keep in the refrigerator until needed.
