Ever heard of matzo toffee crunch? A candy made from pouring brown sugar caramel over saltine crackers and then coating it in chocolate. Now, imagine that on top of a creamy cheesecake! Allie from Baking a Moment has created a cheesecake everyone will love, no matter the occasion!
Chocolatey, nutty toffee candy from Cathy Roma (of What Should I Make For) is made with matzo and topped with buttery toffee, melted chocolate, pecans and sea salt. We’re warning you now, this is highly addictive.
3. Traditional Chocolate Matzo Cake
A twist on the original, this version by Natalie Levin of Lil’ Cookie has 4 layers of matzos dipped in milk and coffee. Filled with generous layers of chocolate cream, with a mousse like texture, this is one matzo cake you will never say no to.
