18-LAYER NO BAKE MATZO S'MORES CAKE for Passover

Here's an easy and delicious Passover dessert that I make every year. I found this recipe on the back of the Manischewitz Matzo Box a few years ago. What's really funny is that this is a recipe for a No Bake Matzo S'mores Cake. Right up my alley, with a few tweaks! Don't replace the matzoh with graham crackers if you're serving this for Passover, but if you're not, give it a go. You can replace the non-dairy whipped topping with marshmallow creme. There are several kosher varieties, including at least one that's Kosher for Passover.

Here are some tips, too! 
First, you can half this recipe. How many people are you feeding, after all?
Second, it's easier to prepare each layer separately before stacking.

18 Layer No Bake Matzo S'mores Cake for Passover

I posted this a few years ago, but I just had to re-post. I often find recipes in odd places such as the back of a carton or box. And, that's exactly where this one was -- on the back of the Manischewitz Matzo Box. What's really funny is that this is a recipe for a No Bake Matzo S'mores Cake. Right up my alley, with a few tweaks! Nothing you can do about replacing the matzo with graham crackers if you're serving this during Passover. However, you can replace the non-dairy whipped topping with marshmallow creme. There are several kosher varieties, including at least one that's kosher for Passover.

Marshmallow Frosting S'mores Cake: Variation on Retro Ad & Recipe

Here's one of those odd but really Tasty Retro Recipe Ads. This one is for Kraft Miniature Marshmallows. Here's how I would change it up. Make a Chocolate Cake in a 9" square pan. Add the marshmallow frosting made from this recipe... only substitute butter (not margarine!) and instead of the walnuts, add crushed graham crackers. You'll have a S'mores Cake!
