2Air Fryer Coconut Macaroons

For a pink, raspberry version, smash 1/4 cup fresh raspberries into the foamy egg white mixture with a fork and then toss in the coconut.

3Chocolate Mousse
PHOTO: ROCKY LUTEN; FOOD STYLING: MAKINZE GOREIn our minds, chocolate mousse is pretty much a super-airy pudding. The chocolate flavor needs to be really strong, and the texture needs to be pillowy and smooth. We've included a few different ways to achieve these—just avoid the gelatin one, and you'll be on your way to a delicious Passover dessert in no time!

7Best-Ever Flan
PHOTO: ROCKY LUTEN; FOOD STYLING: MAKINZE GOREIn our opinion, Flan (AKA the classic baked custard often served in Latin America & Spain) never goes out of style. So pour yourself a freshly brewed cup of coffee and dig into one of the creamiest, most luxurious desserts ever. The addition of egg yolks makes for a particularly rich version, leaving you with just enough egg whites to make coconut macaroons or French macarons.

10Easy Sorbet
Andrew buiNo ice cream maker? No problem! We've included a traditional recipe and a no-churn recipe. A churned sorbet will be smoother and creamier than a no-churn one, but the no-churn sorbet is every bit as refreshing.
