Start to finish: 1 hour 15 minutes (15 minutes active).
INGREDIENTS
- 10 sheets of matzo, broken into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon walnut oil
- 2 cups almond milk (don't use unsweetened varieties)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, loosely packed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups dried cherries
- 1/3 cup matzo meal
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 2 cups black cherry juice
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 tablespoons potato starch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
DIRECTIONS
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 11-by-13-inch glass baking dish with vegetable oil or olive oil.
- In a large bowl, soak the matzo pieces in cold water for 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, pressing out as much excess water as possible. Return the softened matzo to the bowl and add the walnut oil. Toss to coat, then set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs and egg whites.
- In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, cinnamon and salt,
- Add the almond milk mixture and to the softened matzo; stir to combine. Add 1/2 cup of the brown sugar mixture (reserve the remaining few tablespoons) and the dried cherries. Stir to combine.
- Stir in the matzo meal, then spread the mixture in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the top with the reserved brown sugar mixture and slivered almonds. Bake until golden-brown on top and no longer wet at the center, 50 to 60 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-high, bring the cherry juice and almond extract to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and stir in the potato starch mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened, about another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Serve the matzo pudding, warm from the oven, room temperature or cold, topped with the cherry-almond sauce.
