12 Delightful Passover Desserts to Impress Everyone at Your Seder

For some home cooks, whipping up a homemade dessert that’s delicious and Passover-appropriate sounds too daunting even to attempt. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with going store-bought, that’s not your only option. Below, we’ve gathered 12 of our favorite Passover-friendly sweets—including coconut macaroons, flourless chocolate cake, and a light and fluffy angel food cake—that will impress everyone at your seder.

A note about the recipes that follow: Though some were designed with Passover in mind, others are meant to be more all-purpose, which means some of them contain ingredients not considered kosher for Passover—or, at least, not considered by everyone to be such. Ordinary vanilla extract and vanilla paste are not considered kosher for Passover; you may substitute a kosher vanilla extract or the scraped beans from a vanilla pod. As dietary restrictions and traditions vary widely, we’ve chosen here to offer a range of recipes to meet a range of preferences, with the hope that everyone will be able to find a dish that they love.
