Almond paste is a thick, spreadable baking ingredient made from finely ground almonds, sugar (often equal parts or slightly more almonds), and a binder like egg whites, corn syrup, or water, giving it a slightly coarse, nutty texture. It's a versatile filling for pastries (croissants, tarts), cookies, cakes, and even chocolates, distinct from smoother, sweeter marzipan because of its higher almond content and coarser texture, making it less pliable for decorative molding.
