Flourless chocolate dessert for Passover
22.05.12
That’s the sort of challenge many bakers face during Passover, when dietary restrictions hamper culinary ambitions. Vanilla extract? Chocolate? Only if it's Kosher for Passover. Either you plan ahead and order special ingredients, which sometimes have to come all the way from Israel, or you make do with what's available at the grocery store.
The pastry team from The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead is up to the challenge. Dallas Marsteller, the hotel's executive pastry chef, is accomplished at creating desserts with lots of "wow". For the hotel's “Haute Chocolate” tea in February, she and her team dreamed up a Flourless Chocolate Brandy Cherry Cake, Coconut Chocolate Frangipane and Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Torte.
When offered the chance to develop a recipe for Passover, she created a chocolate trifle – a flourless chocolate cake, an incredibly simple chocolate mousse and a few garnishes. A gorgeous decadent dessert with just a little tweaking, outlined in the recipe below, needed to make the recipe work for Passover.
