Published on Mar 28th 2025

Passover desserts are an essential part of the Sedar. They bring together family, friends and culture and complement the delicious Passover food. When it comes to finding desserts for your Passover meal that adhere to cultural dietary restrictions, the task can be challenging — especially because you can't mix meat with milk. With leavened ingredients also forbidden, bakers turn to creative alternatives, crafting indulgent treats that are just as satisfying as their year-round counterparts. From flourless chocolate cakes to light and fluffy coconut macaroons and delicate meringues, Passover desserts prove that holiday-friendly kosher sweets can be innovative and decadent.

We’ll look at some of the most popular traditional Passover desserts and provide a few easy and simple Passover dessert recipes that can help you make them at home.

Traditional Passover Desserts

1. Coconut Macaroons

Sweet, chewy, and packed with flaky coconut, these easy Passover desserts are made with egg whites and sugar for a puffed and indulgent bite. The simple, flourless ingredients make them an ideal choice for those who wish to follow Passover traditions and rules. The exterior is golden and slightly crispy, while the interior is moist and tender, making this a dessert with a balanced texture and a delightful mouth feel in each bite. If you don’t want to make your own, Magnolia Bakery offers some delicious NYC Passover desserts including fresh macaroons.

2. Flourless Chocolate Cake

If you're searching for one of the best Passover desserts, as well as fantastic Hanukkah foods for chocolate lovers, flourless chocolate cake is an exceptional pick. Filled with gooey, fudgy richness, this cake uses eggs and melted chocolate to create its structure instead of flour. The whipped eggs provide air and fullness, creating the unique texture of this popular dessert. The chocolate and butter provide richness and stability.

3. Almond Cake

What are the 5 forbidden foods on Passover? Leavened grain products, traditional baked goods made with wheat flour and yeast, most pasta and couscous, beer and fermented grain beverages and legumes, rice or corn. Almond cake is one of the best Passover desserts because it doesn't contain any of these ingredients. Instead, it uses ground almonds or almond flour as the main ingredient. The nutty texture provides a fantastic mouth feel, and the flavor is subtly sweet and rich.
