No-Bake Chocolate Matzoh Roll with Berry Garnish

This dessert is very rich and a little goes a long way!

Ingredients:
4 squares plain matzoh
Water for moistening matzoh
1/4 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons strong coffee
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
1 Tablespoon brandy, optional
1 cup margarine at room temperature
3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:
Glaze:
2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
3 Tablespoons water

Garnish:
1 pint strawberries, washed but not hulled

Directions:
In a large bowl, soak matzoh in water briefly. Drain water and crumble matzoh. Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler with coffee and sugar. Add brandy, if using. Cool.

In a large mixing bowl, beat margarine until fluffy. Add chocolate mixture, beating well. Stir in matzoh and nuts.

Place a piece of wax paper about two feet long on your work surface. Use a long spoon to shape a mass about 10 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Wrap the wax paper around it and shape it into a cylinder. Tuck the ends under, place it on a plate, and refrigerate at least 3 hours until firm.

After it's chilled for at least 3 hours, melt the glaze ingredients together. Unwrap the roll, pour the glaze over it, and chill again. To serve, arrange on platter surrounded by berries. Slice with a serrated knife.
