Hamantaschen for all tastes

Liven up your Purim with these recipe suggestions

articlemain

Hamantaschen no longer only come in boring jam or poppy seed options. You can now find them in a huge range of colours and flavours. Doughs can be coloured or even flavoured with chocolate or fruity orange zest.

Fillings go way beyond the traditional - and mostly unloved - poppy seed mohn. Fill yours with fruit curd, a lump of your favourite chocolate or even a dollop of salted caramel.

Here are a few that might inspire you to a create some of your own:

 For the very sweet-toothed:

Your dentist may not approve, but sugar lovers will adore these off the wall fillings – creamy cheesecake and crunchy candy canes - from Melinda Strauss's blog Kitchen Tested which give these hamantaschen the edge.

For the bored-with-hamantaschen:

You’ll need the time to make them, but who could resist Miriam Pascal’s chocolate hamantaschen truffle pops

For the gourmet:

Geila Hocherman has done all the testing for you with these apricot-cranberry and coconut and choc hazelnut hamantaschen. Which one should you try first….?

For time-starved baker:

No time to make a dough? Then buy a roll of puff pastry and put Fabienne Viner-Luzzato’s delicious filling recipes to the test.

For the adult hamantaschen eater:

Jamie Geller adds a grown-up touch with her recipe using sparkling raspberry jam. Cheers!

For the kids:

Purim is all about fun and these gorgeous triangular treats are full of it. The funfetti sprinkled dough packs a colour pop and you only need to drop a square of choc inside for a filling that will make you parent of the year. Find out how to make them here.
