Ok, so we already make compote, baked apples and poached pears. My kids have already begun asking for cakes, etc... and we are getting a little tired of the fruit.

Ideas PLEASE!!!! If it makes any difference, we eat g'brokts.

Thanks

this is a fruit idea, but different. we make frozen fruit ices. pureed pineapple, some squeezed lemon juice, squeezed orange juice, pureed banana. frozen banana rolled in ground nuts.

If you make a chocolate ganache and then whip it, it tastes exactly like chocolate mousse. No eggs used.

Throw in a can of jellied cranberry sauce too (a la Tamar Ansh) - yum!

whipped cream, sugar, soya milk and cocoa make a very good chocolate mousse.

apple crumble? I imagine you can make some sort of topping using matza meal and margerine.

I make a lot of frozen smoothies. make a big batch of smoothie, the kids can drink some and then freeze in cups with sticks.

Frozen Mousse, Black and White (P, KLP, TNT)
Source: Cheryl Goldberg
Serves: 12 to 16

Crumble Mixture:
1 12-to-14-ozs. package Passover chocolate cake mix
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup margarine

Vanilla Layer:
1 8-oz. container nondairy topping
1/2 cup nondairy creamer
1 package Passover vanilla instant pudding mix

Chocolate Layer:
1 8-oz. container nondairy topping
1/2 cup nondairy creamer
1 package Passover instant chocolate pudding mix
Chocolate shavings and fresh strawberries, to garnish

Make Crumble Mixture:
Combine mixture together in a 9"x13" baking pan and mix together until crumbly. Spread evenly in pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25 minutes. When cool, coarsely crumble the mixture (use your hands or a food processor). Spread 1/3 of the mixture in a greased 10" springform pan. Reserve remaining mixture.

Make Vanilla Layer:
Beat nondairy topping until thick. Add vanilla pudding mix and nondairy creamer; blend well. Pour into springform pan. Top with 1/3 of the reserved crumble mixture.

Make Second (Chocolate) Layer:
Beat nondairy topping until thick. Add chocolate pudding mix and nondairy creamer; blend well. Pour into springform pan. Top with remaining crumble mixture. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings. Wrap well and freeze several hours or overnight. (Can be prepared in advance.) Serve frozen. Garnish with fresh strawberries when serving.

I found this online, and made it and it comes out pretty good.
the only thing I change, is doubling the nondairy topping.

You can make a matzah layer cake - soak (machine) matzos in wine, layer with chocolate cream. I know I saw a recipe for this somewhere, but I can't remember where.

Or you can try this recipe for caramel matzo crunch: http://www.epicurious.com/arti.....09117

A trifle? Can be really easy if you buy a premade angel food cake, jar of cherry pie filling and some chocolate sauce and whipped cream...

Mock chocolate mousse made from chocolate, sugar, vanilla, and silken tofu.

Lemon bars

Key lime pie

plum tart

apple dumpling

meringues with raspberry sauce

Ahhh, I could go on, but it wouldn't be good for the diet!

Chani

oops, meringues wouldn't be egg free, but the others would be.

Didn't realize this was Pesach specific...

You can make an egg free Angel food cake using Ener-G egg replacement. I tweak the recipe a little also to use less sugar and some agave syrup to help keep it light.

can you use agave syrup on pesach?
does it need a pesach hechsur? I love using it during the year but have not found it k-p

its threads such as these that make me realize just how much we dont eat.

besides wine, grape juice, and oil we dont buy anything else thats processed.

dessert is applesauce or fruit.

some people in my family use sugar (on pesach, only boiled) so b4 pesach they make ice cream, peanut brittle and cakes (w/ homemade potatoe starch)

ill think of u while I eat my endless eggs/fruits/veges/meat and chicken oh and matzah

momof4b2g - thanks for the recipes - I think I'll try them some time. I've been having intermittent cravings for Marino's ices!
