The Jewish Sabbath is a day of rest, relaxation and celebration. The meal that marks the beginning of Shabbat is known as the kiddush and is traditionally served with wine or grape juice, challah, and two or three foods.
Other than going on glatt kosher vacations, Shabbat is a great time to try new recipes. But if you're bored with the same old chocolate or cookie desserts, here are seven non-chocolate dessert ideas that are sure to impress your family and friends.
1. Coconut Milk Ice Cream
Ice cream is always a welcome addition to any meal but especially on Shabbat when we want something light and refreshing without all the added sugar from traditional ice cream brands that use corn syrup or artificial flavors in their recipes. Coconut milk ice cream also contains healthy fats which help keep us fuller longer so we don't overeat during our meals either!
2. Fruit Salad
A fruit salad is another great option for an easy dessert on Shabbat. You can make a large batch ahead of time and then add it to individual bowls when you're ready to serve it.
This is one of the easiest desserts to make, and it’s perfect for Shabbat! Just slice up some fresh fruit and arrange it on a plate. You can use any combination of fruit, but we recommend sticking with seasonal fruits like strawberries, blueberries, apricots and peaches. Top off your fruit salad with whipped cream or yogurt for an extra-sweet treat.
3. Fruit Kabobs With Honey Syrup
For something different, try making fruit kabobs with honey syrup for dipping (this one is made with strawberries). This is another dish that can be made ahead of time and served right before dinner ends so there's no rush at the end of the meal when everyone's getting ready to leave!
4. Cheesecake
If you're looking for something more substantial than cake, cheesecake is a great option. It's rich in flavor, but not so rich that you won't want seconds (or thirds). And since it doesn't have any flour in it, you don't have to worry about eating gluten-free or kosher for Passover!
5. Apple Cake
This apple cake recipe is an easy dessert that can be made in advance and served warm or at room temperature. It's also vegan and gluten-free, so it's perfect for everyone.
6. Lemon Pound Cake
This lemon pound cake recipe uses fresh lemon zest and juice, which gives it a bright flavor and moist texture that everyone will love! The recipe calls for whole wheat flour, but you can also use all-purpose flour if you prefer. It's easy enough for everyday cooking and special enough for guests!
7. Apple Crisp
Apple crisp is another classic fall dessert that's perfect for Shabbat — especially when made with apples from your own trees! To make this sweet treat, combine peeled and sliced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon and flour (use gluten-free flour if necessary) in a baking dish; dot with butter; cover tightly with foil; bake until apples are tender; remove foil; sprinkle oats over top; return to oven until oats are golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
These are just a few of the numerous non-chocolate desserts you can try on Shabbat. You can try them out at home to impress your guests and family or find different restaurants in different places that offer these delectable treats when you’re out and about on a glatt kosher tour. It’s the ultimate kosher dessert bucket list for your sweet tooth cravings!
