It can be tough to find the perfect desserts for a Passover feast because during this time we can’t eat grains or chametz: foods with leavening agents like baking powder. Not to worry! I have a list of 19 satisfying and decadent kosher for Passover desserts to enjoy.
Some of these dessert recipes require easy ingredient swaps to make them kosher for Passover, so read the instructions carefully. For more recipe inspiration, check out my kosher for Passover recipe guide.
🍪 Passover Chocolate and Cookies
When using chocolate in Passover desserts, check it has the kosher for Passover certification. The symbol is the letter U in a circle followed by the letter P.

Coconut Macaroons
A sweet dessert and Passover classic, these coconut macaroons have a perfectly soft and chewy texture. They are kosher for passover if you use homemade sweetened condensed milk.
Indulge in the richness of this chocolate mousse—a decadent dessert that's easy to make using just four ingredients. Leave off the mascarpone topping to keep it kosher, or make your own mascarpone from scratch.
Small, melt-in-your-mouth cookies with cardamom and rose that are perfect to serve with a hot cup of Persian tea! DO NOT include the poppy seeds to ensure these are kosher for Passover.
Bitter and rich chocolate combined with earthy matcha and bright tangy citrus are pure heaven. Use kosher for passover coconut oil and chocolate in this recipe.
Every Passover I make a big batch of homemade sweetened condensed milk to use in snacks and desserts as the canned variety is typically not kosher for Passover.

Matzo Icebox Cake
An easy Icebox Cake with an (optional) matcha twist! It's easy to make with delicious sweet layers of chocolate-covered matzo. Simply cover the matzo in chocolate, assemble the cake, freeze, and add more whipped cream just before serving.
Get your trusty cast iron pan out to get the perfect crispy crunchy outside layer on this amazing dessert! It's rich and irresistibly creamy – one of my favorites for this holiday. Make sure to use kosher for Passover cottage cheese.
Your need for cake doesn't disappear just because it's Passover! This almond banana cake is a satisfying treat to enjoy over the Jewish holidays. It has a moist, pudding-like texture from the over-ripe bananas in the batter and a crunchy topping of slivered almonds.
Ice cream and semifreddo make great desserts for Passover because they have simple, delicious ingredients and naturally don’t contain traditional no-gos for this holiday.

Vanilla Date Ice Cream (No Added Sugar)
Enjoy the simple perfection of this vanilla date ice cream! There are zero added sugars as the dates bring a natural caramel-like flavor, and a smooth-as-silk texture.
This smooth and decadent Strawberry Matcha Semifreddo mixes just 6 ingredients for a creamy cold dessert made without an ice cream maker: fresh strawberries, matcha powder, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream.
This is a beloved recipe on my blog year after year- matcha green tea ice cream. It's sweet and creamy, packed with matcha flavor and without the tons of added sugar in regular ice cream.
