Is marzipan vegan?
By: Gian Sibilia
Almonds, sugar, rose water – actually, marzipan should be vegan. In most cases it is. However, there are some companies that use honey instead of sugar. If it is not pure marzipan raw mass, but the whole thing has been processed into marzipan potatoes, marzipan bread or something else, eggs, dairy products and other animal ingredients may also be included. So always check the list of ingredients before buying to make sure that the marzipan is vegan. Or just try this recipe and make your own vegan marzipan without sugar – that’s probably the safest, cheapest and healthiest option!

Sugar-free marzipan: vegan and easy


Of course there is also vegan marzipan in the supermarket – but that is usually full of sugar and is therefore not really healthy. That’s why I use erythritol in my recipe. This is a sugar alcohol with just 0.2 calories per 1 gram. For comparison: the same amount of sugar has 4 kcal. Erythritol also occurs naturally in some types of fruit (e.g. pears and grapes), but the granules for the sugar substitute are synthetically produced. The sweetening power is slightly less than that of table sugar, so everyone has to see how sweet they like it. The ingenious thing: With erythritol you not only save calories and can reduce your sugar consumption – it is also much better for your teeth. And: In contrast to stevia, it does not have an extreme taste of its own. Conclusion: Erythritol is great for marzipan. Vegan, sugar-free, delicious and quick to make – you’ll love this recipe!

Vegan marzipan: you need that
Two basic ingredients, a mixer and your vegan marzipan is ready! For the typical taste I recommend rose water, which can also be found in every traditional recipe. You can get it in many health food stores, health food stores and online shops. Otherwise you can just use water. Here are your basic ingredients again:
- Ground almonds
- erythritol
- rose water (alternative: water)
Tip: It is better not to use almond flour for the marzipan. It’s vegan, but unlike ground almonds it has a super dry consistency – and the marzipan should be juicy. Ground blanched almonds are a better choice as they are not defatted. Blanched means that the almonds no longer have their shells, which makes for a more refined taste. You probably know this from nut butter: Dark almond butter tastes a bit tart, white almond butter is velvety. This is because the light version uses blanched almonds. By the way, you can also grind them yourself in the blender if you want to make vegan marzipan.
