Ingredients
1 1/2 cups blanched almonds
1 1/3 cups powdered sugar substitute
1 large egg white
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Place the blanched almonds and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar substitute into a food processor outfitted with a steel blade. Blend it, stopping to scrape down the food processor with a silicone spatula until the almonds and powdered sugar substitute are finely ground.
Add the remaining powdered sugar substitute and pulse until it is incorporated into the almond mixture.
Add the egg white, almond extract, and salt and process until a paste forms.
Dust your countertop lightly with powdered sugar substitute and place the almond paste on your countertop. Shape the almond paste into a log and wrap it tightly with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the almond paste for 1 hour before using it, or store it in the fridge for up to 10 days.
