Add Sugar: In the second round of grinding, incorporate the icing sugar into the almond mixture. This step adds sweetness and helps bind the ingredients together.
Incorporate Egg White: Gradually add the egg white to the almond and sugar mixture. Work the ingredients vigorously until they are fully combined. The egg white acts as a binder, giving the almond paste its smooth texture.

Ready to Use: Once the almond paste is firm and smooth, it’s ready to be used as a delicious frosting for cakes or as a filling for pastries. Get creative and explore different ways to incorporate this heavenly paste into your favorite desserts!
