I had to pull it together in 2 hours, which meant that the ganache did not set properly for transit, but no one except me cared. It is so very rich that a very small piece sufficed.

I also did the caramel matzoh crunch you suggested. I’ve got the cookbook from which it came, which suggested 3/4 cup of chocolate chips and I added some more to that. It set up very quickly in the freezer, so I recommend it when time is short.

Thanks so much for both recipes.

I tried making ganache this morning with the Kineret coffee whitener and chocolate chips. I did 6 oz chips and 1/2cup whitener. It all melted well, but seemed a bit thin. I added about 1-2 tsp potato starch, and it thickened up nicely! So that’s something to add to my “bakers Passover tool kit.”

It poured nicely over some brownies I made (foil pan), and it’s getting cold in the fridge. I don’t think I can pipe the ganache around a cake like yours, it isn’t thick enough.

I think I have enough chips left, and I’ll put the rest of the ingredients on the shopping list for later today.

Have a wonderful Passover. Are you going to make pistachio macaroons with rosewater for your family?

Judy

Enjoy your Passover and the desserts you make. Let me know when you decide to make this cake, it is really wonderful, but better saved for an easier time! :)

Thanks, Zoë

I’ve decided to make this later in the week, when I have more time and all the utensils I need. I can use butter and I’ll buy heavy cream , and I will have what I need to make it.

THANKS! I let everyone on the HBin5 list know of your wonderful recipes
