Leavened bread is off the table during this holiday, but that doesn’t mean you have to skip the sweet stuff. I have gathered 28 Passover desserts that range from flourless cakes to refreshing fruit sorbets.
You will love celebrating the seder with these colorful and delicious treats.
1. Passover Cake Bites
You can call these truffles or cake balls, but they are always a crowd pleaser. Grab a box of Passover-friendly cake mix from the grocery store to keep things simple.
I use a ganache made with chocolate almond milk instead of standard frosting for a rich finish.
2. David Lebovitz’s Chocolate Sorbet
It is hard to believe this treat is dairy-free after taking just one creamy bite.
You absolutely must use high-quality Dutch cocoa powder and good chocolate here. Cheap ingredients filled with sugar simply will not provide the same decadent flavor profile.
3. Chocolate Raisin Clusters
Covering fruit in chocolate is the best strategy for getting kids to eat a healthy snack.
These rich clusters are incredibly easy to assemble and offer a chewy texture. I suggest mixing in chopped nuts, crushed cookies, or matzo pieces for a satisfying crunch.
4. Healthy Chocolate Fudgsicles
It is rare to see the words healthy and fudgsicle together.
Frozen bananas act as the base for this brilliant recipe. You just blend the fruit with cocoa powder to create a chocolatey treat that tastes exactly like ice cream.
5. Passover Apple Pecan Pie
You can absolutely enjoy apple pie during the seder with this clever recipe. It skips the traditional crust and uses water-soaked matzo mixed into the filling as a binder.
Top the fruit with a buttery chopped pecan crumble before you pop it in the oven.
6. Homemade Applesauce
I love pairing applesauce with ice cream for a simple dessert. Making this at home fills the entire house with an amazing aroma.
Feel free to experiment with different apple varieties, unique spice blends, or even pears.
7. Lemonade Popsicles
These frozen treats are even better than a standard glass of lemonade.
You just need plenty of sugar, water, and fresh lemons to make the base. I like to mix it until it tastes sweet enough and add fresh raspberries for a pop of color.
8. Berries And Cream
Spring markets are full of fresh fruit options that are perfect for dessert. A drizzle of simple syrup helps get the berry juices flowing.
The orange-infused cream really makes this dish shine on the table.
9. Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
You need quick treats when feeding a large crowd for the seder. These juicy berries are rich and always popular with guests.
I prefer to stripe them with white and dark chocolate using a piping bag instead of dipping them.
10. Easy Healthy Popsicles
Organic apple juice serves as a clever base for these hydrating treats. Make sure you purchase juice that is low in sugar.
I like to add small apple chunks or cranberries to the molds for extra color and texture.
11. Tart Lemon Sorbet
This dessert leans more toward sour than sugary. It is the ideal choice if you want something refreshing that is not overly sweet.
You can easily increase the sugar amount if the tartness is too intense.
12. Easy Chocolate Avocado Freezer Fudge
You cannot even taste the avocado hidden inside these fudge squares. It makes the texture incredibly silky and smooth.
I recommend using a food processor to blend the mixture until there are absolutely no lumps remaining.
13. 2-ingredient Pineapple Cream Popsicles
This recipe is very similar to the famous Disney Dole Whip. You simply blend coconut milk with frozen pineapple instead of using ice cream.
I made a batch with layered mango and pineapple for a fantastic vegan treat.
14. Mixed Berry Popsicles
Making your own frozen treats allows you to control the ingredients completely. You just need some molds and plenty of fresh berries from the market.
Layering the fruit creates a beautiful ombre look, but mixing it all together tastes just as good.
15. Honey Lime Rainbow Fruit Salad
A vibrant bowl of fruit is always a hit and takes mere minutes to prepare. This recipe uses pineapple, orange segments, blueberries, kiwi, and red berries to create a rainbow effect.
Toss everything in a simple honey lime syrup to enhance the natural flavors.
16. Easy Passion Fruit Mousse
Passover is the perfect time to splurge on expensive ingredients like passion fruit. These silky mousse pots are rich and bursting with tropical flavor.
Make sure you prepare a double batch since they disappear quickly.
17. Easy Fruit Sorbet
You will stop buying store-bought desserts once you realize how simple this recipe is. It only takes three ingredients and 15 minutes to create colorful sorbet.
Ensure the fruit is completely frozen before blending to achieve the correct consistency.
18. Chocolate Toffee Matzo Crack
This sweet treat works perfectly as a table snack or a small gift. You just pour homemade caramel over matzo sheets and top everything with chocolate, nuts, and sea salt.
I drizzle white chocolate over the finished product for a beautiful contrast.
19. 2 Ingredient Dark Chocolate Mousse
I usually prefer fancy mousse recipes that use eggs. This two-ingredient version is the best option when you are in a rush.
Serve it in small pots with chocolate shavings and a dollop of whipped cream.
20. Banana Soft Serve
You should always keep a stash of frozen bananas in your freezer for this life-changing recipe. It tastes exactly like creamy ice cream but uses fruit as the only base ingredient.
I enjoy adding extras like Reese’s Pieces or chocolate chips for a special touch.
21. Avocado Chocolate Mousse
Avocado adds incredible creamy texture and healthy fats to this dessert.
I prefer using intense dark chocolate to boost the flavor profile. The cocoa powder version is also quite tasty if you want something lighter.
22. Chocolate Covered Almonds
Nutty clusters are a wonderful alternative to serving cookies. You get plenty of chocolate flavor and a satisfying crunch without any added sugar.
A pinch of sea salt really brings the natural sweetness of the almonds to life.
23. Dark Chocolate Frozen Banana Pops
Frozen bananas stay soft enough to mimic the texture of ice cream. You can dip them in chocolate or stripe them using a piping bag.
I love topping mine with toffee bits or chopped nuts for added crunch.
24. Chocolate-Matzo Layer Cake
Matzos soften into a tender, cake-like consistency after sitting in the freezer for a few hours. You pre-soak the sheets in coffee to give the dessert a wonderful mocha flavor.
Serve it with a dusting of cocoa powder and some fresh whipped cream.
25. Passover Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are completely leavening-free. You mix brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and matzo to create the dough. The process is identical to standard baking, but you swap the flour for matzo meal.
26. Matzo Crisp with Pear, Apple, and Cranberries
A blend of cranberries, apple, and pear creates a dessert that is fruity without being overly sweet. The filling bubbles up beautifully under a crisp topping made of warm spices, matzo crumbs, and nuts.
Walnuts are a great alternative if you do not have pecans on hand.
27. Flourless Chocolate Cake
This cake is wonderfully fudgy and intensely chocolatey. It checks every box for a rich, flourless dessert.
You simply pour a quick ganache over the top for an elegant, smooth finish.
28. Easy Mixed Berry Fruit Cups
Fruit cups are the perfect portable dessert if you plan to enjoy your seder outdoors.
Eating under the warm evening sky is a wonderful way to celebrate. Plastic cups allow your guests to mingle freely while enjoying their sweet treat.
