The Jewish holiday season is upon us! Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot are just around the corner, and everyone is getting excited to eat their favorite foods or book their next adventure with
Jewish heritage tours.
It's a fact that the Jewish community has been around for thousands of years, and it has influenced our culture in many ways. One of the most significant ones is their desserts that are not only delicious, but also have health benefits! You don't need to make any compromises with your diet when trying these out because they're low in calories or sugar content.
Here are the following Jewish desserts you’ll surely indulge:
Honey cake
Honey cake is a traditional Jewish dessert. It’s made with honey, flour and eggs and often topped with almonds or walnuts. It is baked in a loaf pan so it can be sliced into individual portions like bread. The golden brown crust looks great on the table for Shabbat or any special occasion!
Hamantaschen
Hamantaschen are a traditional Jewish cookie that's eaten during Purim. They're triangular in shape, and are often filled with poppy seeds or apricot jam. They're also sometimes filled with prune-based fillings, which have a syrupy consistency and are similar in taste to fruit leather.
Apple kugel
This sweet, cake-like pudding is typically served as part of the Passover Seder. The traditional recipe calls for apples, cinnamon, eggs and sugar. Some versions also contain raisins or walnuts. Apple kugel can be eaten on its own or served with sour cream as a topping.
Cheesecake
The dessert of cheesecake is a classic baked cheesecake with a crumbly crust, often made of crushed cookies or graham crackers. It originated in ancient Greece and was brought to America by Jewish immigrants from Europe.
Cheesecake can be served plain or topped with fruit, chocolate syrup or whipped cream. It uses milk and cream cheese as its main ingredients!
Rugelach
Rugelach is a Jewish pastry that comes in a variety of shapes and flavors. It's usually made with a dough base, which is then spread with butter, cinnamon and/or nut-based fillings such as walnuts or pecans.
Many people are familiar with the round rugelach shape, but it can also be shaped into squares or diamonds. Rugelach can come in many flavors including chocolate chip and apricot filling which makes them even more delicious!
Rugelach recipes vary from one person to another due to personal preferences for ingredients used in the filling; some people prefer almond paste whereas others might use cinnamon sugar instead of vanilla icing on top--but whatever type you prefer there's sure to be something here for everyone!
Mandelbrot
Mandelbrot is a type of biscotti, which is Italian for “twice baked.” It’s crunchy and peppery, with a sweet finish. It is both a traditional Jewish cookie and a delicious Jewish dessert to be eaten at Hanukkah or any time you want something indulgent but healthy!\
If you’re looking to incorporate a little more Jewish food into your life—or make a Jewish friend happy by cooking one of their favorites—then this is the list for you! These recipes are all super easy to follow, and they can all be made with ingredients that you probably have lying around your house right now. Some are best to pack during your
Jewish trips since they give a lot of energy when hunger strikes. Also, many of them are really fun to prepare with kids, so if you’ve got some extra hands in the kitchen maybe they can help too!
