Passover matzoh kugel with bananas and chocolate chips Recipe
I can't seem to escape the combination of bananas and chocolate. Not even at Passover.
Then again - why would I want to?
Banana chocolate chip bread pudding is a favorite in our house. (By the way, there's a reason I named it Better Than Make-Up Sex Banana Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding. Because it is.)
The matzoh left over from last night's Passover seder got me thinking: Could I make a Passover dessert with bananas and chocolate chips?
Here you go. You can thank me later.
P.S. I made this version dairy, but if you wante a pareve dessert kugel to serve after your seder meal, substitute coconut milk or almond milk for the half-and-half.
