The Recipe How-To

Now that you have all of your ingredients ready, let’s start making these Fudgy Passover Brownies.

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil and set aside.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of potato starch, 3/4 cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until well-combined.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a separate mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil until smooth. Add in 4 large eggs and whisk until fully combined. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Mixture

Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture mixture while mixing slowly until all ingredients are well combined. Fold in **1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and mix well again.

Step 5: Bake the Brownies

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Be sure not to over bake it as that could dry out the brownies.

Step 6: Let Them Cool

Allow the brownies to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares using a sharp knife. Brownies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to four days or refrigerated for up to one week.

Enjoy these fudgy flourless Passover brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.

Substitutions and Variations

My dear readers, while the original recipe for Fudgy Passover Brownies boasts a delightful texture and flavor, I understand that some of you may have dietary restrictions or preferences that require some substitution or variation. Worry not, for I have collected a few suggestions for you.

– Gluten-free and Kosher for Passover: The recipe we have here is already gluten-free and kosher for Passover, my dears! It uses potato starch as a substitute for flour, and matzo cake meal instead of regular cake flour. Plus, it doesn’t call for any dairy products that are not allowed during the holiday.

– Dairy-free version: If you prefer your brownies dairy-free as well as gluten-free, simply replace the unsalted butter with olive oil or another neutral-tasting oil. Use dairy-free chocolate chips or chop up dark chocolate that contains no milk as well.

– Reduced sugar intake: While the 1 and 1/2 cups of sugar used in this recipe is not particularly excessive compared to other dessert recipes, some may want to enjoy their brownies with less sugar. To accomplish this, my suggestion is to substitute 1/2 cup of sugar with coconut sugar, which also adds a nice depth of flavor.

– Nutty variations: For fellow almond-lovers out there, feel free to mix in some almond flour instead of some of the potato starch. Alternatively, add chopped almonds or halvah bits into the batter before baking.

– Richer fudge-like texture: If you would like even richer fudgy brownies, try mixing a package of Manischewitz chocolate cake mix into the dry ingredients. This substitution adds some fluffy texture and richness to the brownie mix.

There you have it, my dear readers! Be creative and happy baking!

Serving and Pairing

Once your flourless Passover brownies are out of the oven, it’s time to serve them up and satisfy your sweet tooth. These fudgy, chocolaty bites are the perfect dessert for any occasion, be it a festive holiday treat or a casual after-dinner indulgence.

Serve these moist, gluten-free dairy-free brownies with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped coconut cream for an extra creamy and refreshing touch. Or, pair them up with fresh berries, such as strawberries or raspberries, for a burst of tangy flavor that balances out the rich sweetness of the brownies.

For a Passover-friendly wine pairing, try serving your fudgy brownies with a sweet red wine like Manischewitz Concord grape wine. The fruity and slightly acidic notes in the wine help balance out the rich chocolate flavor and intensity of the brownies. Alternatively, you can also opt for a refreshing glass of sparkling cider or grape juice to complement the dessert.

Whether you’re looking for a delicious Passover dessert or just want to satisfy your sweet cravings without compromising on your dietary preferences, these gluten-free kosher Passover brownies are sure to win over both your heart and taste buds.

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating

Surely you will want to savor this scrumptious delight over and over again. Thus, whether you intend to host a grand feast or simply enjoy this treat on a quiet evening curled up with a good book, here are some storage tips that will keep the fudgy passover brownies fresh for longer.

To make your passover even merrier, you can prepare these decadent bars ahead of time. After baking and cooling the brownies, wrap them tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Stored properly, they can last up to 5 days without losing their delightful flavor and texture.

If you want to save the brownies for future consumption, you can also store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. It’s best to wrap individual pieces with plastic wrap before storing them in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. To thaw frozen brownies, remove them from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about an hour before serving.

Now that you know how to keep your brownies fresh, you must be wondering how to reheat them perfectly every time. Simply preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and pop the wrapped brownies back into the oven for 5-10 minutes until they’re warmed through. Serve them warm with some ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Follow these storage and reheating tips, and your fudgy passover brownies will be cherished by everyone who indulges in its richness!

Tips for Perfect Results

To achieve the fudgiest, most delicious Passover brownies, there are a few important tips that one must keep in mind. Here are some of my favorite tips for perfect results:

– Be sure to follow the recipe closely and measure all your ingredients precisely. Baking is like chemistry, and even small deviations can result in a different end product.

– Use good quality ingredients whenever possible. This is especially important when it comes to chocolate chips and cocoa powder. Opt for brands you trust and that use high-quality ingredients.

– Don’t overmix the batter. Once you add the dry ingredients to the wet, mix just until everything is combined. Overmixing can result in tough brownies.

– Let the brownies cool completely before slicing them. Trust me, I know it’s hard to resist digging in right away, but cutting into a warm brownie will result in a messy, crumbly mess.

– If you want extra fudgy brownies, bake them for slightly less time than the recipe calls for. The edges should be set and starting to pull away from the sides of the pan, but the center should still be slightly gooey.

– If you’re making gluten-free brownies, don’t expect them to have the exact same texture as traditional wheat flour brownies. They may be slightly cakier or denser due to the use of alternative flours like coconut flour or almond flour.

By following these tips and staying patient during the baking process, you’ll end up with a batch of rich, chocolatey Passover brownies that will impress even your fussiest friends and family members!

Bottom Line

In conclusion, these fudgy passover brownies are a game changer for any gluten-free or dairy-free dessert lover. Not only is this recipe simple and easy to follow, it is also versatile and can be adapted to different dietary restrictions. Moreover, these brownies use nutritious ingredients like potato starch and coconut flour which make them a healthier choice than traditional brownies.

Whether you’re kosher for passover or looking for an indulgent dessert, these fudgy passover brownies are the perfect addition to any gathering. With their rich chocolate flavor and dense texture, they will satisfy any sweet tooth. So go ahead and give them a try, your taste buds will thank you!
