Ingredients:
Directions:
1
Set aside
2
Melt chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave by heating at 30 second intervals, and stirring between each one
3
When chocolate is almost melted, just remove from the microwave and stir until smooth
4
In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy
5
Beat in the egg yolks one at a time until well blended
6
In a separate bowl, whip egg whites with a pinch of superfine sugar until stiff
7
Fold the melted chocolate into the sugar mixture, then fold in the egg whites
8
Pour 1/4 of the bottle of wine into an 8x8 inch baking dish
9
Soak one of the matzo sheets briefly on both sides, then remove to a serving platter
10
If you soak too long, it will break apart and become hard to work with
11
Spread a thin layer of the chocolate cream over the soaked matzo
12
Continue soaking and layering the matzos and chocolate cream, leaving enough of the chocolate mixture to frost the sides when finished
13
Add more wine to the dish as necessary for soaking
14
Press chopped nuts onto the sides, or sprinkle them on top for garnish
15
Refrigerate overnight to allow the chocolate and wine to blend flavors
