When you think Mardi Gras desserts, a King Cake is usually the first thing that comes to mind. However in Sweden, they celebrate Fat Tuesday with a Swedish Semla (Semlor). A Semla is a soft cardamom bun filled with almond paste and whipped cream. The buns (semlor) are dusted with a flurry of powdered sugar for a slightly sweet and fun to eat dessert. So if you're looking to add a little international variety into your pre-Lent celebration, this Swedish Semla is just the dessert to do it.
