End your Passover meal with these healthy and delicious desserts. These desserts are unleavened and dairy-free so they can be eaten with a meal containing meat, and they use alternatives like almond flour to create a sweet treat. Recipes like Coconut Macaroons and Flourless Chocolate Cake with Orange are celebratory and tasty, and would be an excellent addition to a Seder or to serve anytime throughout Passover.

11of 12Flourless Honey-Almond CakeFlourless Honey-Almond CakeHoney and almonds flavor this simple (and gluten-free) cake. It’s lovely for afternoon tea or a spring holiday dessert. Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites–they should be white and very foamy, but not at all stiff or able to hold peaks. If you beat them too much, the cake may sink in the middle as it cools.
