Passover dessert recipe

Does anyone have a good Passover dessert recipe that does not involve nuts of any kind? Ds is not allowed to have nuts and most (if not all) of the recipes I have found have ground up almonds. I want to bring something ds can eat. My in laws usually get stuff from a bakery and I can't let him have it knowing there could be almonds in it. TIA

Re: Passover dessert recipe

This one is really good, it does call for nuts but you can leave them out. maybe replace them with cherries?

I found this in the Hadassah magazine in today's mail:

Flourless Banana Chiffon Cake
serves 12-14. If serving w/ in 24 hours, wrap in plastic wrap and store at room temperature. For longer storage, wrap aluminum foil and freeze for up to 10 days. To thaw, remove foil and leave at room temperature for about 3 hours

ingredients:
1 cup plus 2 TBs matzah cake meal
1/4 cu plus 2 TBs potato starch
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 small or 1 large)
6 large eggs, separated
1 large egg
1/4 cup plus 2 TBs canola oil
2 tsps finely grated lemon zest
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

directions:
1. center a rack in the oven and reheat to 325 degrees. have ready an ungreased 10x4 1/4 inch tube pan, preferably with a removable bottom, and a long-necked bottle or large heat-resistant funnel for cooling the cake
2.sift together the cake meal, potato starch, 3/4 cup of the sugar and the salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the bananas, egg yolks, egg, oil, lemon zest and vanilla. using a rubber spatula, incorporate the banana mixture with the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth, thick and well blended.
3. in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites on medium-low speed until soft peaks form about 1 1/2 minutes. increase the speed to medium and gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup sugar. continue whipping until glossy-white, stiff but not dry peaks form, about 2 minutes. using a clean rubber spatula, fold 1 cup of the whipped whites into the cake batter to lighten it. then fold in the remaining whites just until combined. spoon the batter into the tube pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula
4.bake the cake until just golden, the top springs back when touched lightly and a round wooded toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 55-60 minutes. remove the pan from the oven and immediately invert it over the long necked-bottle. let cool completely about 2 hours.
5. to remove the cake from a pan w/out a removeable bottom, slip just the tip of a thin metal spatual or paring knife between the cake sides and the pan, slowly tracing the perimeter. tilt the cake pan on its side and gently tap the bottom against a counter to loosen the cake. rotate the pan, tapping it a few more time as you turn it, until the cake appears free from the sides of the pan. place a wire rack on top of the cake, intert the pan and tap firmly on its bottom. left the pan from the cake.

My sister made these last year...they were good, I think I will make them this year!

Chocolate Caramel Covered Matzos

6 matzos
1 cup brown sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Parchment paper
Aluminum foil

Pre-heat the oven to 350

Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, and lay the parchment paper on top of that. You may need 2 cookie sheets.

Break the matzo into pieces and line the cookie sheets.

Combine the butter and sugar in a 3 qt sauce pan on medium heat stirring constantly. Bring mixture to a boil and let boil for 3 minutes. Pour mixture over matzo as evenly as possible. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Remove matzo from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Let sit about 3-5 minutes, and then spread the chocolate chips all over the matzo. Put in refrigerator to cool or let stand room temperature to cool and chocolate should harden. Enjoy!

Re: Passover dessert recipe

You can just dip matzo in choc. I break it into big pieces and buy semi sweet choc, white choc and anything else you want to sprinkle on to decorate. Melt the choc and dip away.

Re: Passover dessert recipe

I make these every year. They taste even better than some regular homemade brownie recipes.

INGREDIENTS 1/2 cup butter
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons matzo meal
1/2 cup potato starch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)


DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch square pan.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the unsweetened chocolate. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to low, and pour in the chocolate and butter, then stir in the vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir together the matzo meal, potato starch and salt. Use a spoon to stir into the chocolate mixture until well blended. Mix in the walnuts or chocolate chips if using. Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until the brownies are dry on top and begin to pull away from the sides.
