We need to talk. About mandel bread! This Jewish step cousin of the biscotti is perfect with a cup of joe, (or Jose...or Jack). Cranberry Orange Chocolate Mandel Bread!
Modern Jewish desserts that re-imagine heritage classics — babka, rugelach, hamantaschen, halva, honey cake, and a whole lot more. This is the corner of What Jew Wanna Eat where tradition meets new ideas: chocolate-stuffed challah for Rosh Hashanah, halva hamantaschen for Purim, tahini chocolate chip cookies whenever the mood strikes.
Looking for holiday-specific desserts? Try the 20 babka recipes roundup for any occasion, the Passover dessert section for matzo-friendly options, or any of the rotating hamantaschen recipes — sweet and savory — for Purim. Want something simpler? Chocolate caramel matzah crunch takes 15 minutes and disappears in less.
These recipes come from cookbook author and culinary-school-trained chef Amy Kritzer Becker, author of Sweet Noshings (2016). Every dessert here has been tested and re-tested in her Austin kitchen — the brunches with Bubbe count as research.
