MAZARINER/MAZARINES
One the most beloved Swedish pastries ever; these are almond flavoured cupcakes in a slightly crunchy shell. I got the original recipe from my mother but I tweaked it a little to be more yummy in my opinion. I'll warn you it's pretty fattening though thoroughly delicious.

SWEDISH MAZARIN TORTE OR MAZARINS
This is a traditional Swedish dessert called Mazarintarta. It calls for green food coloring in the filling, but I think I'd leave that out (too many chemicals for me!). From cookbook "Favorite Swedish Recipes". PREP TIME DOESN'T INCLUDE 1 HOUR REFRIGERATION TIME. The recipe didn't indicate what size pie tin to use, but based on the amount of ingredients, I'm guessing a rather small one.
