Funfetti Coconut Macaroons

Did anyone else feel like Passover snuck up on them this year? Maybe because it’s on the early side this year, it just didn’t dawn on me, say, last week to stock up on matzah, and there I was yesterday, mad-scrambling to multiple supermarkets in desperate search of a few boxes. At one Safeway, the […]

Blonde Chocolate Coconut Macaroons

Don’t let the Mainschewitz Passover Industrial Complex ruin your Passover. Homemade coconut macaroons can be yours so quickly and easily that you’ll never look back. I was never enamored by the macaroons-in-a-can, but they were just always… there. So I snacked on them because they existed without what I’d call “enthusiasm”, and I had even […]

Next-Level Matzah Buttercrunch, Vol. 1

Okay, it’s Day 8 of Passover, and I’m guessing that you are tired of gnawing on bland cardboard at this point. Even dressing it up with pizza sauce and mozzarella is getting a little tired, yeah? I’ll tell you what NEVER gets tired: matzah slathered with caramel and chocolate. I cannot think of a better […]

Chocolate Coconut Macaroon Cake

If you know anything about Passover desserts, you know that they can be a challenge and we often have to compromise to uphold the rules of being Kosher For Passover. So imagine my delight when I came across an amazing (and beautiful) dessert last year from Bon Appétit that yielded a flourless chocolate cake so decadent and […]

All it’s Cracked Up to Be: Matzah Buttercrunch Ice Cream

Soooo, anyone else have an extra box or two of matzah left over after Passover? I don’t know about you, but I can safely say that every year I have at least a full box left, which I keep around with the intention of making I-don’t-know-what-at-some-point, but hey, there it is the following Passover! This […]

Baker-Tested, Seder-Approved: Matzah Tiramisu Cake 2.0

Two years ago I discovered Robicelli’s Tiramatzu, and Passover has never been the same. Seeing as how I live on the far side of the North American continent from Robicelli’s, I set about figuring out how to make my own version— this thing had to be on my Passover table! I would simply replace the ladyfingers with […]

Classic Passover Decadence: Flourless Chocolate Cake

Chocolate. Butter. Eggs. Sugar. That is all you need to make this wickedly dark and decadent Flourless Chocolate Cake. I don’t think that much about flourless chocolate cake when it isn’t Passover (I know, I need to get my priorities straight), but during this week when the only bread product allowed is literally known as […]

Coconut Double-Dip: Raspberry-Vanilla & Dark Chocolate Macaroons

Are you mindlessly gnawing on your umpteenth Manischewitz coconut macaroon during this Passover week? It’s okay– we’ve all been there. Take a breath and slowly put down the can. You can and will get through this, and you’ll see that very soon you’ll be in a better place: making your own macaroons. Maybe you’ve been in that […]

Coconut Remix: Salted Sesame Caramel Macaroons

As I said last week, I wasn’t planning to bake for Passover this year because I wasn’t going to or hosting a Seder. But then Robicelli’s Tiramatzu came into my life, so I had to try a homemade version. So that was it, right? Well… There I was, minding my own business, when the new issue of […]

Unleavened Heaven: Matzah Tiramisu Cake

This year, I wasn’t able to host or attend a Passover Seder, so I wasn’t planning on baking for Passover. I was content scrolling through loads of Instagram food porn including flourless chocolate cakes, coconut macaroons, and various nut-based treats (all of which are leaps and bounds more appetizing than the Passover “cake” mixes and rubber […]
