So you've got a whole bunch of delicious Passover recipes to make this year, but what about dessert? You might think it impossible to follow the no-flour and no-leavening rule on the traditional Jewish holiday — especially when it comes to dessert — but these 30 delicious treats prove otherwise; after all, the removal of "leavened" products for Passover doesn't have to mean boring, tasteless sweets!

This year, get creative in the kitchen with these grain-free and gluten-free desserts that are perfect for Passover, including the best matzo treats and coconut macarons as well as the tastiest desserts made with mousse and meringue. None of these Passover desserts contain chametz (leavening, wheat, barley, spelt, rye, or oats) — though some recipes might use kitniyot (legumes like corn and rice), so be sure to check the ingredient list carefully if you're avoiding the latter for the holiday as well. And of course, for more ideas for Passover, be sure to check out our best matzo bread recipes afterwards, too!
