21 Kosher for Passover Dessert Recipes

Skip the store-bought kosher-for-Passover cake mixes and cardboard-like cookies this year. Instead, indulge in these fabulous homemade desserts, from rich flourless cakes to creative twists on coconut macaroons—and more. A few things to keep in mind: use ingredients like chocolate and confectioners’ sugar that have been certified kosher for Passover.

Meet Molly Yeh’s Passover rendition of a Midwest potluck staple. Magic bars usually have a graham cracker crust, butterscotch chips, chocolate and nuts, but Molly uses matzo meal and coconut oil for the crust to make them kosher for Passover. Peanut butter chips, rainbow chips and dried fruit take this dessert over the top.

Macaroons of all sorts are a cherished sweet of the Passover holiday, but this recipe takes the timeless combination of flaked coconut and chocolate to a whole new level. A crust of crispy yet chewy macaroon is blanketed in a layer of fudgy brownie. We recommend holding off on the whipped cream if you're enjoying this dessert after meat.

This recipe turns up the volume on the classic combo of sweet and salty by covering salted matzo in sticky toffee and rich dark chocolate. Extra sea salt amplifies the combo. If you'll be eating this treat with meat, swap the butter for a vegan option. Be sure to stock up on a few extra boxes of salted matzo, as you will most certainly crave this treat year-round.
