Round up of the top 30 Passover Friendly Desserts that are healthy, gluten free, dairy free, vegan and paleo-approved!
Calling all of you lovelies celebrating Passover this year. I have a great list of recipes that you can make for your Passover parties coming up. We have Mango Banana Sorbet, Cinnamon Coffee Cake and everything in between. Every party or celebration must have desserts and these are desserts are not only delicious but will make your guests wanting more!
What are Passover Friendly Desserts?
If you’re new to the Jewish holiday, Passover (Pesach) commemorates the story of the Israelites’ departure from Egypt. Because they left in such a rush, their bread didn’t have time to rise. So for 8 days, Jews avoid eating anything that has risen (chametz) during the holiday.
What is Chametz?
Chametz is anything made from the five major grains – wheat, rye, barley, oats and spelt. Some Ashkenazic Jews also avoid rice, corn, peanuts, legumes and others they deem as a possible cross-contamination with Chametz or just too easily confused with it (these foods are called Kitniyot).
Is Dairy OK in Passover Friendly Desserts?
It depends. Jews avoid eating dairy products with meat products in the same meal, and since most Passover seder meals are at dinner, I took the liberty to assume that for most families this would be a “meat” meal where dairy would be prohibited.
I’ve compiled some of my favourite Passover Friendly desserts that are dairy free, (often) gluten free, (sometimes) vegan and packed with flavour! You won’t even miss the Chametz!
