In this episode of Abbey’s Kitchen, Abbey is commemorating the eight days of Passover or seven days if you live in the holy land of Israel. If you’re not familiar, Passover commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery. As the story goes, Moses told the evil Egyptian Pharaoh, to let the Israelites go, but he refused, so God decided to smite the Egyptian people with ten terrible plagues. From locus, frogs and boils. God decided to tell Moses to tell the Israelites to mark their homes so that God would pass over those homes while all of those terrible plagues were coming down. As the Israelites were escaping, they had to rush out of there in such a hurry that they didn’t have time for their bread to rise, hence why we eat unleavened bread for Passover, also known as matzah. Here’s the truth, matzah is not so great. It doesn’t have a whole lot of flavour in Abbey’s opinion, but these desserts will make up for that. Today, Abbey is going to be making some Cherry Chocolate Almond Meringue Cookies. They are grain free, gluten free and dairy free and the perfect ending to any Passover Seder, or really any time of year.
Let’s do this.
TO a stand mixer, add some egg whites, lemon juice and a pinch of salt and beat on high until frothy. Continue to beat while adding super fine sugar one spoonful at a time. Eventually it will reach stiff peak form. It will basically look like the head of a funny bird. Finally, beat in artificial vanilla and maraschino cherry juice, and gently fold in some sliced almonds.
Next add generous dollops onto a baking sheet lined with a silpad and bake them off at 250 degrees for 40 minutes until lightly browned.
Next, Abbey melts some dairy free dark chocolate over a double boiler until silky smooth. Set aside about ¼ cup. Then add rest of chocolate to a stand mixer, along with thick coconut cream and whip until it reaches mousse like consistency. Finally pipe a little bit of the mousse onto the bottom of one of the meringues and add another meringue to make a sandwich. Drizzle the remaining chocolate and try your best to fit the whole thing into your mouth at once.
Abbey recommends sneaking in a few of these before Passover Seder because let’s be real, the Seder can be long and we can get hangry.
