JEWISH INTEREST
Kadurei shokolad:
Israel’s favorite dessert
– recipe by Chef Dalia
With Passover behind us and
with Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israeli
Independence Day,
taking place on Thursday, May 9, a
little Israeli chametz, seemed like a
good way to come back and is a time
for celebration. Clubs, bars, event halls,
and everyone who’s anyone is planning
a Yom Ha’atzmaut party. The streets will
be filled with live shows, cotton candy
and corn on the cob stands, spray paint
and flicker stands, and fireworks in every
city. With 85% of country not having
to go to work the next day – this is truly
the biggest festival in Israel. There are
many ways to celebrate Israel from anywhere
in the world on Yom Ha’atzmaut.
Most of the time it involves eating our
favorite Israeli foods.
To honor Israel’s 71 st birthday, I
thought it was the perfect time to share
Israel’s best-known and most-loved favorite
dessert recipe – Kadurei shokolad
(Chocolate balls).
Chocolate balls are as iconic as
falafel in Israel, yet most tourists have
never heard of them. After all, nobody
is hawking these colorful confections
on street corners. Kadurei shokolad,
as they are known in Hebrew, are a
quintessential Israeli treat. They may
not be what most tourists think of when
asked about Israeli dessert treats, since
they are something that is usually made
at home with kids rather than sold in
stores, but they are part of the fabric of
an Israeli childhood.
I promise they are more delicious
than they sound. It’s a one-bowl wonder,
made with cocoa, sugar, milk and
biscuits, all mashed together into a
dark brown goop. My boys are usually
relegated to bashing the biscuits
with a rolling pin, a job they do with
gleeful abandon. Little lopsided balls
of the mixture are rolled into shredded
coconut or colored candies and placed
on a serving tray or popped straight into
their mouths.
Kadurei shokolad are as popular
as ever despite the enormous changes
in the Israeli food scene. Its appeal
lies in its simplicity – a dessert that is
fast, no-bake and inexpensive. Kadurei
shokolad has none of the fastidiousness
found in gourmet sweets and can be
tweaked and improvised according to
what is available. Rum and candied nuts
can be added for a more sophisticated
twist, while leftover cookies that have
gone stale can also be incorporated in
the batter. It’s a humble dessert reserved
for informal affairs. For Israelis, it tastes
of home, birthday parties, picnics and
childhood. Indeed, it’s more than just
a favorite recipe. Kadurei shokolad has
become a part of the collective memory
of Israel.
I recommend having a variety of
sprinkly things on hand to roll them in.
For Israel’s special day, I am going to
coat them this year in blue and white
sprinkles to make them super-Israeli.
What’s more, the recipe is easy to
alter. You can flavor it to your liking
with alcohol (for the adults, of course),
coffee, caramel or chocolate chips.
In Israel, Kadurei shokolad is generally
made with tea biscuits such as Petit
Beurre (which, despite the name, are not
butter cookies). If you can’t find them,

plain chocolate cookies work, too.
Ingredients:
• 1 pound chocolate biscuit cookies
• 1 cup unsalted non-dairy butter
(or margarine)
• 3.5 ounces bittersweet chocolate
(chopped)
• 1 cup sugar
• 6 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon silan (date honey)
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a large bowl, use an electric
mixer or sturdy spoon to combine
the biscuit crumbs, melted chocolate
mixture, sugar, cocoa powder,
silan and vanilla. While continuing
to stir, slowly add the milk until
the batter is moist enough to hold
together when shaped into balls.
Using clean hands, roll the mixture
into walnut-sized balls. (Use about
1 tablespoon of the chocolate mixture
per ball.)
Roll each ball into powdered sugar
(or a mix of powdered sugar, cocoa
and cinnamon), coconut flakes,
sprinkles or sanding sugar. Place
on a plate, cover and chill in the
refrigerator until firm.

Since Yom Ha’atzmaut is my favorite
holiday, I also decided to share
my favorite Israeli best-known drink,
called Limonana. It’s another part of
my collective memory of Israel and
my absolute favorite. There is nothing
more refreshing than tangy lemonade
and spearmint (especially fresh from
my garden) blended with ice to make
the perfect slushy. Lemon and mint are
two of my favorite flavors, but put them
together and they are even better than
either one is alone.
Limonana ingredients:
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon
juice
• 1/4 cup loosely packed mint
• 1/2 cup (3.75 oz) sugar
• 1 cup water
• Ice cubes
XX
Combine the lemon juice, mint,
sugar and water in a blender. Blend
at high speed until well mixed. Add
the ice. Pour into glasses and serve
immediately.

Independence Day!
