Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 boards matzoh

water for moistening matzoh

1/4 cup sugar

3 tablespoons strong coffee

4 ounces semisweet chocolate

1 tablespoon brandy -- optional

1 cup margarine -- at room temperature

3/4 cup walnuts -- chopped

 

glaze:

2 ounces semisweet chocolate

3 tablespoons water

 

1 pint strawberries for garnish -- washed but not hulled

 

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

 

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

microwave. Add brandy, if using. Cool.

 

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

beating well. Stir in matzoh 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 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Wrap the

wax paper around it and shape it into a cylinder. Tuck 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 platter surrounded by berries, or serve slices on

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

Serves 10 - 12. This dessert is very rich, so servings are small.
