(These will be gobbled up before the second seder, so make sure you get one at the first seder while you have a chance!) From Joan Nathan. Note: Zaar won't let me specify matzah cake meal, it only recognizes matzo meal. Be sure to use the cake meal variety.

BLACK-AND-WHITE COCONUT MACAROONS
Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper. Using food processor, process coconut until finely ground. 2. In large bowl, stir together coconut and cookie mix. Add sweetened condensed milk and almond extract; mix well. Mixture will be crumbly. Stir in cream of tartar. 3. In small bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Fold egg whites into cookie mixture. Using 1 1/2 tablespoon-size cookie scoop, firmly pack with coconut mixture and place mound on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining coconut, placing mounds 2 inches apart. Press each mound to flatten slightly. 4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges just begin to lightly brown (do not overbake). Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes. 5. In 1-quart nonstick saucepan, melt chocolate chips and shortening over medium heat, stirring until chocolate is melted. Dip each cooled cookie halfway into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on sheet of parchment paper; sprinkle chocolate portion with nuts. Let stand until chocolate sets, about 1 hour. Store between sheets of parchment paper in tightly covered container.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and butter the paper.
- In a large bowl, use a fork to stir the coconut, condensed milk, salt, vanilla, and almond extract to blend them together. Set aside.
- In a clean medium bowl, use a whisk or electric hand mixer to beat the egg white and cream of tartar on low speed until foamy and the cream of tartar dissolves. Whisk vigorously or increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat until soft peaks form. Whisk or use the mixer to beat in the sugar. Use a rubber spatula to fold half of the whipped egg white into the coconut mixture, then fold in the remaining white. Using an ice cream scoop with a 1/4 cup capacity or a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop mounds of the coconut batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the macaroons two inches apart.
- Bake until the bottoms of the cookies and the tips of the coconut shreds are light brown, about 17 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Slide a metal spatula under the macaroons to loosen them from the parchment and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the chocolate coating. In a heatproof container or top of a double boiler, put the chocolate and oil. Place it over, but not touching, a saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir over the hot water until the chocolate melts and is smooth. Remove from over the water and let it cool and thicken slightly, about 10 minutes. Scrape the chocolate coating into a small bowl. Dip the bottom of each macaroon in the chocolate and place each cookie, chocolate bottom facing up or on its side on a wire rack. You will have some chocolate coating leftover for another use or to pour over ice cream. Let the macaroons sit until the chocolate coating is firm, about 1 hour. To speed the firming of the chocolate, refrigerate the macaroons on the rack for about 15 minutes.
- Serve cold or at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to 5 days.

Steps:
- Make the macaroon shell:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter generously the bottom and sides of a 9-inch square or 10-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom, line the bottom with parchment paper, and butter the paper. In a bowl toss together the coconut, the flour, and the salt. In another bowl whisk together the egg whites and the sugar until the mixture is white and foamy, stir the sugar mixture into the coconut mixture, and with a rubber spatula spread the mixture evenly on the bottom and up the sides of pan. Bake the shell in the middle of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it is firm and golden, loosen it from the sides of the pan with a small knife, and remove the sides of the pan. Let the shell cool completely on a rack, remove the bottom of the pan, peeling off the paper from the bottom of the shell, and put the shell on a platter.
- Make the filling:
- In a small metal bowl whisk together the egg yolks and the heavy cream, set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, and cook the mixture whisking constantly, until it is thickened and registers 160°F. on a candy thermometer. Remove the bowl from the pan, add the bittersweet chocolate, stirring until the chocolate is melted, and stir in the rum. In another small metal bowl set over the pan of barely simmering water melt the white chocolate, stirring, stir in the sour cream, and stir the mixture until it is just smooth. Remove the bowl from the pan and let the white and dark chocoalte mixtures cool to warm, stirring frequently.
- Spoon the chocolate mixtures into the macaroon shell, alternating them, shake the platter gently to settle them together. Chill the tart, covered loosely, for 8 hours, or until it is set. The tart may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
- Make the sauce:
- Force the raspberries through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on the solids, scrape the pulp from the underside of the sieve into the sauce, and whisk the sauce until it is combined well. The sauce may be made 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled.
- Arrange slices of the tart on each of 8 dessert plates and pour some of the raspberry sauce around them.
Tips:
- To ensure the macaroons have a chewy texture, it's important to beat the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks.
- For a crispy macaroon, reduce the baking time by a few minutes.
- For a more flavorful macaroon, toast the coconut flakes before adding them to the batter.
- To achieve a smooth and glossy coating, dip the macaroons in melted chocolate and let them cool on a wire rack.
- Store the macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

These black and white coconut macaroons are a delightful treat that's perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, crispy exterior, and rich coconut flavor, these macaroons are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
