Passover Cakes

TART PASTRY.

200 grams butter.
1 packet matzo meal
1 cup brown and white sugar mixed.
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon wine.

Mix all and press into a pastry dish. Place in the freezer for an hour.

Filling.
1 regular container 5% white cheese
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
1/4 cup sugar.
Mix the above ingredients and fill the pie dish. Bake in a medium oven for 20 minutes, until brown. You can serve with a chocolate grated over this or with ice cream, on the side.

QUICK AND EASY VANILLA PUDDING.

Take a packet of vanilla pudding and mix as directed. Fill the pie base.
Cut up strawberries, berries and some orange rind. Cover with whipped cream and serve…….

COCONUT BASE.

I use one cup of desiccated coconut and mix it with 150 grams of butter and a teaspoon of grated lemon or orange peel.
Place in the freezer for an hour.

Fillings. !. Cream and fresh fruits, with some granadilla pips.
2. A layer of apricot jam and cut up pears, apricot jelly and decorate with a little coconut.
3. Fruit jelly with sliced peaches in it.
4. Ice cream mixed with 2 tablespoons Halva and 1 tablespoon of chocolate spread
5. Bake with a filling of pureed apples and slices of apple, a dash of cinnamon and a few chopped almonds.

FRESH FRUIT SALAD.

Fresh fruit salad is always welcome at the end of a festive meal. Simply cut up all the fruits in season. Add half a cup of orange juice and some granadilla pips. I marinate some pine kernels in a little wine overnight. I add these and they look good and taste fabulous.

Present the fruit in a different way. I use tall long glasses. Put a strawberry in the bottom, a small meringue, then the fruit and end off with a blob of ice cream or cream. If it is Parave, you can simply fill with fruit and strawberries and a meringue on the top.


CHILDRENS CHOCOLATE MATZO SLICES.

Let the kids do this.
10 slices matzo. Soak in a shallow dish of milk, with a little vanilla added to it. Lay the matzo slices in a pie dish. Now beat two cups of cream and nutella chocolate spread.
Cover the matzo with it. Then another matzo layer, chocolate and chopped nuts or strawberries. Matzo…… and create layers until it is done.
Refrigerate and cut into slices. Decorate with chocolate nibbles. The kids love doing this.

ENJOY THE PASSOVER.

LOVE AND LIGHT
