Passover Chocolate Roll Recipes

PASSOVER CHOCOLATE ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil an 11 by 16 jelly roll pan. Line with waxed paper and oil the paper.
• Beat egg yolks until light and fluffy and gradually add sugar. Continue beating until mixture is thick and pale in color.
• Melt chocolate with coffee in saucepan over low heat and cool. Add to egg mixture. Beat egg whites into stiff peaks. Fold into mixture.
• Spread batter evenly on baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 mintues, until toothpick comes out dry. Leave out of oven for 10 minutes, then turn onto waxed paper (overlap 2 sheets if necessary to obtain 18 inch width). Let cool.
• Remove waxed paper. If edges of cake are very dry, cut off edges with sharp knife. Dust top of cake with cocoa.
• To make Filling: Beat cream with vanilla and sugar until peaks are slightly more than soft. Set aside 1/4 of whipped cream, and spread remainder on cake leaving about 1 inch of narrow side uncovered. Starting from opposite narrow side, roll up like jelly roll.
• Frost top with remaining whipped cream. If desired, decorate with chocolate curls. Refrigerate or freeze.

PASSOVER ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F and set two oven racks in the centermost positions, leaving at least 4 inches of space between them. Line two 13x18-inch baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine the oil, water, salt and sugar in a medium pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and add the matzo meal; stir with a wooden spoon until evenly combined. The mixture will be very thick. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let cool, stirring occasionally, until warm to the touch, about 15 minutes.
• Add the beaten eggs, a little at a time, stirring well with a wooden spoon after each addition, until evenly combined. This takes some elbow grease. Use a large ice cream scoop or two large spoons to drop the batter into peach-size mounds, spaced evenly apart, onto the prepared baking sheets (you should have 7 on each sheet). Don't worry if they are irregular in shape. Cook for about 40 minutes, switching the pans from top to bottom and front to back midway through, until puffed, golden brown, and crisp on the surface. The rolls will deflate a bit as they cool; that's normal. Serve warm.
• Make-Ahead Instructions: The rolls are best served fresh on the day they are made, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat and crisp the rolls in a 350°F-oven for 6 to 8 minutes for best results.

PASSOVER CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch (23-cm) springform pan with parchment paper.
• Break up or chop the chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl with the butter or margarine. Set the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and allow the chocolate and butter to melt, stirring occasionally. When everything has melted, remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• In the meantime, put the egg yolks in a large bowl. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large bowl, using a handheld mixer, whip the egg whites to very firm peaks, about 5 minutes.
• When the melted chocolate mixture has cooled, add it to the egg yolks, along with the sugar, and whisk well.
• Using a rubber spatula, stir about one-third or less of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Carefully spoon another third of the egg whites on top of the chocolate mixture and gently fold them in. Add the remaining whites and fold them in just until incorporated.
• Transfer half of the batter to another bowl and set aside in the refrigerator.
• Pour the remaining batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes: it will turn into a soft, moist cake. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.
• When the cake has reached room temperature, pour the reserved chocolate mousse on top of it. Refrigerate the mousse cake, uncovered, for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until set.
• When you're ready to serve, run a sharp thin-bladed knife around the cake's edges and then remove the sides of the springform pan. Peel the paper from the bottom, and place the cake on a serving platter. Serve cold, decorated with chocolate shavings, if desired.
• Leftover cake will keep in the refrigerator, wrapped in aluminum foil, for a couple of days.
