Out of Ideas
Okay. I love to bake. Dessert is one of my favorite things. But I'm completely stumped, right now.
I need to come up with a Passover-friendly dessert idea, and I am drawing a complete and utter blank. Cake is out. Cookies are out. Pie? Right out. Rice pudding? Nope. Fruit crisp? No can do. Panna cotta isn't portable enough. Most puddings have cornstarch. I could make lemon curd, but I refuse to eat it on matzoh, and just serving it plain with a spoon doesn't work. Poached pears aren't make-ahead enough. My favorite macaroon recipe has corn syrup in it, and all the other ones I've found are too dry and mealy for me to be comfortable serving them to anyone not related to me by blood or marriage. Flourless chocolate cake or meringues are technically options, but to be honest, I can't stand either of them, and I'm a selfish enough bitch that I'd rather not make a dessert that I'm not willing to eat.
I am at the point of tearing my hair out. I have too much pride to just give up and bring a couple of pints of ice cream, but I can't think of anything else.
So please, any suggestions? I'm open to just about anything.....
