NO BAKE CHOCOLATE MATZO ROLL

From The Jewish Vegetarian Year Cookbook by Roberta Kalechofsky

 

4 squares plain matzo

water for moistening matzo

¼ cup sugar

3 Tbsp strong coffee

4 oz semi-sweet chocolate

1 Tbsp brandy (optional, but nice)

1 cup margarine at room temperature

¾ cup chopped walnuts

 

glaze:

2 oz semi-sweet chocolate

3 TBSP water

 

garnish:

1 pint strawberries, washed but not hulled

 

In a large bowl, soak matzo in water briefly. Drain water and crumble matzo

 

Melt chocolate with coffee and sugar in the top of a double boiler or in a small

bowl in the microwave. Add brandy if using. Cool.

 

In a large mixing bowl, beat margarine until fluffy. Add chocolate mixture,

beating well. Stir in matzo and nuts.

 

Place a piece of wax paper about 2 feet long on a work surface. Use a large

spoon to shape a mass about 10 " long and 2 " in diameter. Wrap the wax paper

around it and shape into a cylinder. Tuck the ends under, place on a plate, and

refrigerate at least 3 hours until firm.

 

Melt glaze ingredients. Unwrap the roll, spoon glaze over it evenly, and chill

again. To serve arrange on a platter surrounded by berries or serve slices on

individual plates with a berry or two on the side. Slice with serrated knife.

Serves 10-12. (This is very rich, so the servings are small)
