Select fresh or cooked fruit confections and sorbet for the lowest fat dessert options. Annually, newly certified kosher for Passover products appear on the market. Recently improved egg substitute, non-dairy creamer and whipped topping are available and quite useful in general cooking rather than baking. Powdered egg whites are an excellent Passover product. Available in the kosher section of supermarkets or at kosher butcher shops, they are easy to use and beat well for baking, an enormous help to the cholesterol conscious cook.
Recipes call for large eggs unless otherwise specified.
