Leavening agents like yeast and baking powder are also a no-no. • Step 2: Learn substitutions • Learn how to make substitutions for forbidden ingredients, like a combination of matzo meal and potato starch in place of flour. Find substitution lists in kosher cookbooks and on kosher websites. • Tip • Avoid the common mistake of using too much matzo meal in dessert recipes; it makes them too heavy. • Step 3: Go nuts • Make desserts that rely on finely ground nuts to take the place of flour, or to serve as crust base for cheesecake. • Tip • Combine 1/3 cup of granulated sugar with a 1/2 teaspoon potato starch and blend them together in a food processor or coffee grinder to make kosher for Passover powdered sugar. • Step 4: Count on chocolate • Count on dark chocolate to save the day! Bake a delicious flourless chocolate cake, or make brownies using matzo meal or cake meal. • Tip • Turn plain matzo into delectable crunch bars with the addition of dark chocolate and caramel. • Step 5: Use egg whites • Make goodies that attain height and airiness from beaten egg whites rather than leavening agents, like a sponge cake, meringues, or macaroons. • Step 6: Focus on fruit • Focus on fruit-based desserts, like sorbets, honey-drizzled fruit with walnuts, or fruit compote. • Did You Know? • One of the largest Seders in the world takes place in Kathmandu, Nepal and involves 2,000 people.
