Can you substitute solo almond paste for solo almond filling?
No. Almond Paste is a very thick paste made of almonds, sugar and some almond extract. Almond Filling is looser, more like cake frosting/filling. If you substitute, you'll not get the same results. There is more sugar in Filling, too, about 25% more and it will over-sweeten your recipes. Spend the extra money on something you'll probably only make once a year, like Christmas cookies. Recipes are pretty exacting, and replacing paste with filling will lead to a baking disaster.
