A Marianne is a classic Scandinavian pastry, particularly popular in Denmark and Norway. It consists of a small, fluted cup-shaped cake that is baked, cooled and then filled with jam, cream, marzipan or other sweet fillings. The Nordic Ware Marianne pan creates the distinctive fluted cup shape that makes these pastries recognisable. They are typically served as afternoon tea treats or at festive celebrations.

Traditional Marianne fillings include raspberry or strawberry jam topped with whipped cream, or marzipan filling. You can also fill them with custard cream, lemon curd, Nutella, salted caramel or ganache for a modern twist. Once filled, Marianne pastries are typically served chilled or at room temperature.
