Sacred Food: Tiramatzah

It’s been brought to my attention that I have written about the great contribution to Pesach cuisine since Caramel Matzah Crunch! I didn’t actually think it was possible for someone to come up with a matzah-based Passover dessert that was better than matzah covered in chocolate and caramel — but they did.

I first saw learned about Tiramatzah on The Jew and the Carrot, a fine blog for anyone interested in food and Judaism! Needless to say, it’s one of my favorites — but I digress.

I’d made strata-style dishes with matzah in years past, but always savory dishes. But, I figured I’d give it a try and made it for a mid-Passover week dinner with my sister and her husband. Well, actually it was Easter dinner. My sister and I both married lapsed Catholics! But, again, I digress.

The tiramatzah was so good that everyone ate more than their fair share, and all agreed it should be the dessert of choice for next year’s Passover Seder! Imagine if you will, a creamy delicious Tiramisu-like dessert with the texture of a napolean. Yes, that does sound good doesn’t it?
