Thank you for this recipe. I made a batch with equal parts almond flour, date puree and tapioca starch and added vanilla extract because I didn't have almond extract. Delicious!

In reply to Wendy. Actually I have never tried this recipe for normal almond flour. I always just make my own flour. But, my best guess would be that it is OK to use almond flour.

I use date paste for baking all the time; it's wonderful. Can you just use almond flour in this recipe? Thanks for posting this. I can't eat refined sugar, as it's a migraine trigger for me, and besides, it's really not good for me.

I was looking for a brown sugar marzipan and Google took me to your marvelous website. The idea of using dates is ingenious. I just made a batch of this marzipan and it is superb. (I did add just a few drops of almond extract.)
My father's side of the family is Danish so I am looking forward to exploring your website and trying more nordic recipes. Thank you very much!

In reply to George Hanley. According to research from multiple studies, the average Glycemic Index of dates is 42. This classifies them as a low GI food and safe for those with diabetes when eaten in moderation.

In reply to Joe Martinez. This is not a helpful response and I disagree with your perspective. The world does not rotate around those that are diabetic. This is DEFINITELY a sugar (refined) free recipe! And you would be ok with dates if you stopped eating the real culprits...animal products, simple carbs, processed food. Educate yourself on nutrition instead of listening to your doctor who has almost no nutrition knowledge.

An amazingly simple and all natural recipe. Thank you for sharing! Had this been called anything but sugar free, I never would have found it on the internet. Dates are the most healthy fruit for consumption and do not spike sugar levels. So all the diabetics out there, go ahead and enjoy a perfectly good and healthy recipe, but make sure as in everything else, moderation is key !!

In reply to Kim Nielsen. I have been bothered about the amount of refined sugar in marzipan. Thanks for this lovely and simple solution. Now ready for stollen... and Danish tree logs :-)

I needed Marzipan for my favorite Scone recipe. Most of the recipes I saw used 1.5 C ground almonds + 1.5 C confectioners sugar + 1 egg white. With the 1.5 C sugar, it was not edible. I made your recipe with giant Medjool dates, and voilà! My Almond Scones are filled with Yummy Goodness.
