Ingredients
  

Cream Cheese Whipped Cream

  • 8 ounces cream cheese  
  • ½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold

Chocolate Ganache

  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate pieces
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream

Assembly

  • 1½ cups milk
  • 8 pieces matzah
  • ½ cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • First, make the whipped cream. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and combined. Then add in the whipping cream and beat until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Divide the whipped cream into 7 cups and add food coloring to each one (I did red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink) then mix to combine.
  • Put the milk in a shallow bowl or dish large enough to fit a piece of matzah.
  • Dip a piece of matzah into the milk for about 10 seconds to soften, covering it completely, shake off any excess and then place the matzah on a plate. Spread evenly with the pink frosting. Repeat with another piece of matzah in the milk, and the purple frosting, then another piece of matzah in the milk and the blue frosting, etc., until you are left with the final piece of matzah on top.
  • To make the chocolate ganache, put the chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer (you can also do this in the microwave, just don't let it get to a boil). Pour the cream over chocolate, then let it sit for 1-2 minutes to melt the chocolate and stir to combine and finish melting.
  • Let the ganache cool slightly and pour all over the last piece of matzah and then cover with sprinkles.
  • Cover lightly and refrigerate at least four hours or ideally overnight. Then slice and serve! Leftovers will keep for another 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
