Passover Crack Recipe ▷ Easy and Unleavened

From Passover Crack Recipe to irresistible dessert with Matzah

Can I make this Passover Crack Recipe vegan or nutty?

If you follow a kosher diet and avoid dairy, don’t worry: you just need to use margarine instead of butter. Ideally, get margarine in stick form and use the same amount as indicated in the original recipe. Add pecans, pistachios, or whatever your heart desires. For best results, toasting them beforehand takes the experience to the next level.

The flavour may change a bit, but it will still be delicious… and totally addictive.

Your family will ask you to make it all year round, not just on Passover!

What is Matzah, and why do we eat it on Passover?

If you are new to this tradition, here is a short guide to help you find your way. Passover, or Pesach, focuses on the story of Moses. He led the Jewish people in their great escape from Egypt – yes, that famous Exodus!

One of the most important moments of this celebration is the Seder. This ritual has a lot of symbolism. It takes place after sunset, right before the first day of Pesach.

Participants read stories from the Haggadah during the Seder. This is the book that tells the whole story. People also sing traditional songs. And, of course, we share a very special dinner.

And if it’s not Pesach time, a freshly baked pita is always a welcome addition to the Israeli morning table.

A timeless bread; the story behind the Matzah

And that’s where the star of the evening comes in: Matzah! This thin, crusty, cracker-like bread is an essential symbol.

Why? Well, according to the story, when the Jewish people fled Egypt, they didn’t have time to leaven bread. That’s why they brought this quick version. It’s a reminder of freedom and resilience, wrapped in cookie form.

Throughout Passover, people forbid eating leavened bread, so Matzah becomes the queen of the table. Nowadays you can find it in almost every supermarket… but you can also make it at home! Do you dare?

What if I want to prepare my passover crack recipe first?

Great idea! Store your Matzah cookies in an airtight container and put them in the freezer. They last up to three months, and you only have to let them sit for a couple of hours at room temperature before serving. Ideal for when you need to impress without last minute stress.

Is it possible to use a base other than matzah?

Let’s be honest: matzah has its fame. But if you don’t have it on hand, you can use crackers.

Would you like to try this recipe?

The magic is in the sweet, salty and crunchy mix. Of course, don’t forget the sea salt! That final touch makes all the difference.

This passover crack recipe is much more than a dessert. It’s a way to connect with a beautiful Jewish Tradition, even if it’s not my own, and share joy with friends and family. I take it to the Seder every year, and it always comes back empty on the tray – how about you make it this year too?

And if you do, please show me! Tag me on networks so I can see and share your version – nothing makes me happier than seeing your creations!
