I was at the Kosher aisle at my supermarket trying to figure out the best Jewish dessert to try. This aisle intrigues me because I presume the products are carefully prepared with quality ingredients. No gluten or pork.
I'm on a strict lean diet to maintain lean abs. But I want to try a Chocolate Babka. Good choice?
I love a cinnamon babka 'cause I'm not big on chocolate. Babka is a great dessert if you like a more bread-like cake rather than a sponge type of cake. Enjoy!
Oh, and please get me some Hamentashan -- prune or apricot -- either one will do. Not keen on poppy.
What joyeaux said. And, there are recipes for Jewish apple cake, sweet kugel (noodle pudding) kreplach - crepes, stuffed with fruit and cheese, and there IS chocolate babka!
Rugalach - a pastry filled with preserves, usually apricot, is vey good. Honey cake is another of my favorites.
Halvah is a delicious candy made of sesame seeds and honey. Not exactly a desert, more of a candy, that is sold every were in NYC. It comes in a natural or vanilla flavor, marbled - with chocolate, and chocolate covered.
In Jewish homes, bananas and sour cream are a typical desert, that I find very tasty.

Jewish people eat gluten. Babka is made with flour.

And, I'm pretty sure that 99.9% of all desserts are not made with pork. While Jewish desserts are delicious, I'm a little baffled at why you would think kosher sweets are healthier than any other kind.

Wait...you said "no gluten"? Jewish cake, crepes, cookies etc. are NOT gluten free. Where did you get that idea?
The only deserts that involve a pork product that I can think of, are pie crust made with lard. That's it. Pork products are not common in deserts and are non-existent in Jewish deserts.
Jewish deserts are no more or less healthy than any other deserts. They are DESERTS.
If you are on a strict "lean diet" I would avoid all baked goods.
Gluten is okay unless someone has celiac disease. What I find odd is people who ate gluten all their life, all of a sudden claim to have "gluten intolerance". Why didn't they get ill when they were eating it before? Gluten free diets are mostly a fad and in a few years, people will return to eating gluten again. Its also a way to mark up food items, four to five times; gluten-free bread is five dollars a loaf. No thanks.

Many people make their pie crusts with leaf lard. In addition, there are a number of Mexican pastries that also are made with lard.
Increasingly, bacon is being incorporated into a number of sweet applications including doughnuts.
and I'm still trying to figure out how " chocolate babka" and "lean abs" can go in the same sentence.
Carb loading before running a marathon?
Halvah is honey, tahini, and nuts.
