Passover is less than a week away.This holiday , starting next Monday APril 22nd, is full of good food. How do you end a Seder? With a tasty dessert?
All Passover desserts are flour less yet you can make a delicious cake or kugel. The most traditonal dessert are apple cake and coconut rich macaroons. Apple cake can be made with almond or ground matzoh meal.There are still eggs added to give it body and spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg. It can be varied with the addition of ground walnuts. Flour less apple muffins can also be made as a sub in for cupcakes. it;'s more or less the same recipe as for the cake Macaroons can be made at home. They only require four ingredients, egg whites, ,sugar vanilla extracts and shredded coconut Vegan ones cna be made if you sub in kosher aqua faba or chickpea water for the egg whites. Chocolate chips can be added or the macaroons can be dipped in chocolate for an even tastier treat. The macaroons can also have a bit of lemon zest for a citrus-y take on the recipe. The original macaron recipe can also be made for Passover since they're made without flour. You could do a simple vanilla, chocolate coffee or any fruit flavor with a matching or contrasting buttercream filling.
Of course you could always bake everyone's favorite - a flour less chocolate cake. This is a blend of just eggs, butter ,cocoa powder sugar and vanilla. Eggs are used to act as a binder.It is a thick, fudgey cake that's more like candy .Can cupcakes be made this way? Absolutely! Yes! Again it's the same recipe but poured into cupcake papers. Again eggs are the most important ingredient here because they act as the binder that brings all the other ingredients together. These can also be made in vanilla too if you want something different.Cookies can also be made for the holiday. Surprisingly there are even flour less chocolate chip cookies along with other types. What gives them substance? Both oatmeal or almond flour work. You should add baking powder to give them some rise otherwise they'll be too flat.Mix it and the flours together before adding the other ingredients. The wet ingredients are then added as with a regular cookie recipe and then the chips. The dough is then rolled into balls and put on a cookie sheet.
What ends a good Seder? A good dessert. It could be a traditional apple cake or a chocolate chip cookie. It's up to you how you want to create a fun and delicious ending.
