ZUCCHINI PLATZ RECIPE – TASTES LIKE APPLE SQUARES

It is the time of year where everyone is looking for zucchini recipes – this zucchini platz is the ultimate winner – hands down. Everyone is familiar with chocolate zucchini cakes and muffins but this brings zucchini desserts to a whole new level. The best part is that even people who do not like zucchini love this recipe!

Platz is a mennonite recipe that I grew up with, it is a dessert square normally made with seasonal fruits.

When I made this zucchini recipe I brought some to my friends to taste test – and it was a hit. Next, I sent some home with my mom who served it with ice cream to her guests. I always think recipes with stories are better, so here is the text from my mom about what happened when she served the dessert.

Jody. It was so nice that you gave me 4 pieces of dessert. Friends came over for coffee last night so I served this zucchini platz with ice cream. It was so funny when I asked them what kind of platz they thought it was and the man said , well apple of course. I said guess again and he said , well at least it’s not zucchini! We laughed so hard when I said it was ! He doesn’t like zucchini but the he ate all of it and loved it.

I adapted this platz recipe from a handwritten recipe from my friend Charlene who had it passed down from an aunt of hers. The original version was sweeter, had more crumbs and included walnuts and raisins.
