Stop the mixer immediately so as not to overheat the marzipan.

Flatten the Armagnac marzipan into a "cake" and wrap with plastic film. Keep in the fridge until needsd.
Remarks
Feel free to adjust the quantity of Armagnac to suit your taste, either more or less.
You can vary this recipe by using another favourite alcohol from your own "cellar". It is worth noting that, traditionally, any marzipan that is not plain is left uncoloured.
