As Passover rolls around, Jewish communities across the globe prepare to trade leavened delights for holiday-compliant alternatives. But just because it’s kosher for Passover doesn’t mean you have to skimp on indulgence. From Florida to Florence, dessert lovers can find stunning confections that are as beautiful as they are delicious — all without a crumb of chametz.

Here’s your sweet guide to the best Passover desserts worldwide, where tradition meets innovation in every bite.

🇺🇸 South Florida, USA – Modern Classics with a Jewish Twist

Desserts by Shai, a boutique kosher bakery in South Florida, is a standout among the region’s kosher-for-Passover offerings. Known for combining modern patisserie techniques with traditional Jewish flavors, the bakery rolls out a special Passover menu that includes:

  • Chocolate Mousse Domes on Almond Crunch
    Light, airy, and gluten-free, this dessert pairs velvety mousse with a crispy almond base.

  • Passion Fruit Tartlets with Coconut Crust
    Tangy, tropical, and totally leaven-free — a perfect Florida flavor with a kosher twist.

  • Mini Pavlovas with Berries and Vanilla Cream
    A show-stopper for any seder table, these airy meringues are topped with fresh fruit and kosher-for-Passover whipped cream.

Pro tip: Order early — this place sells out days before the holiday begins.
