I make another wonderful dessert from Cooking Light…a lemon almond cake with lemon curd filling. Joan Nathan, Cooking Light, APRIL 2008
It is a nice light dessert to end the seder, and a great alternative to heavy flourless chocolate cake.

I make this recipe for flourless peanut butter chocolate chip cookies every year for seder and they are a huge hit. Thought I would share. The brown sugar gives them a great flavor and yes, you can use Baking Soda on Pesach. You can even find Kosher for Passover Baking Soda.

We made the chocolate idiot cake and the chicken and rice dish for New Year’s. The family that came over made lemon squares also from this website. Everything turned out great; we all loved the food. We served the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, which was delicious. Thanks for having such great recipes!

Dear Deb,
I have been a big fan and reader, but simply had to write today to say an enormous thank you for posting about flourless desserts. We have just learned that our four year is wheat intolerant (in addition to lactose intolerant) and I have been scouring the internet for recipes that aren’t of the second-class-citizen variety. This little boy loves to eat. He once prompted a chef to come out of her kitchen because she wanted to meet the little boy who had ordered the prune and rabbit pie. In the grand scheme of things, this is not a big deal. If all he cared about was hot dogs and bologna sandwiches, it would only be an inconvenience. But missing out on things he really loves makes him sad. The fact that he never complains makes me that much sadder for him. THANK YOU for sharing so many great recipes – it will make his world a lot tastier, and both of us a lot happier.

Just wanted to tell you that we made the chocolate walnut cookies today for Passover – used a little vanilla sugar in place of vanilla extract since I didn’t find any Kosher for Passover extract, and made our own confectioner’s sugar. They were fantastic! Next time I might try a little less sugar since they are sweet, but delicious! A keeper. thanks for posting. Hope you are enjoying the holiday and thanks for making ours sweeter

Mmm. These were delicious (and could be eaten by our guest who avoids both gluten and butter). But they were awfully hard to get off the parchment!

i’ve made these payard cookies two years in a row! last year i made them with regular confectioners’ sugar and they were such a hit that i was asked to make them again this year. i whipped up a batch last night but used superfine cane sugar blended together with potato starch and was unable to detect a difference! in fact, my boyfriend said last night that this was the first time he’s ever willingly eaten passover food before passover!

Has anyone attempted the chocolate caramel matzo with margarine rather than butter? I would never use margarine except I would like to bring them to a seder and they need to be kosher. Thanks!

Dessert Nirvana! I had forgotten about the merangue cookies: I used to make brown sugar and cinammon kisses…the was BC: before children! Now that they are old enough to get out of the way or help, it’s time to bring them back. We make the mazah brittle, too, but we call it Crack ’cause it’s so darned additctive! My son & BIL are both Passover babies, so one of them almot always falls into the Passover Birthday cake. I’ve been looking for a new good chocolate one. Can’t wait to try David’ Idiot Cake…love the name already. Thanks so much for the ideas. Now I’ll take a look at what else you’ve got. I see a side line about bialys…YUM! Happy Passover!
