Almond paste recipe Thermomix is a basic preparation widely used in southern Italy pastry.
With this recipe you get about 650 g of almond paste. The perfect quantity for me because I prepared the Almond Granita (for which you need 350 g of almond paste) and the Biancomangiare Blancmanger (for which you need 300 g of almond paste)
You can also use it to make Martorana fruit. Do you know what it is? Colorful fruit-shaped sweets that are made of almond paste.
