Mazurek is a flat, decorative tart made with a buttery shortcrust or sponge base, topped with layers of fruit preserves, caramel, nut pastes, or chocolate, and adorned with dried fruits, nuts, and icing. This vibrant dessert is a beloved part of Easter celebrations across Poland, especially in Mazovia, where it gets its name. Typically baked in rectangular or oval shapes, Mazurek is known for its intricate, festive decorations symbolizing spring and renewal. Its origin dates back to the 17th century and it remains a signature holiday treat.
Common variations include Mazurek kajmakowy (with caramel fudge) and Mazurek orzechowy (with walnut paste).
