The Best Desserts for Easter!
We love so many things about Easter, but our favorite is being able to gather with family and have an amazing Easter dinner and think about the meaning of the day.
Gathering around the table with a delicious dinner is always amazing, but it’s not Easter without some delicious Easter desserts.
Why we love them:
- Variety. From traditional carrot cake recipes to pies to chocolate treats, we are sharing all of our favorite easter dessert recipes with you today.
- Simple. We focus on creating delicious but simple recipes here on the site, so you can expect that from these desserts.
- Loved by all. And you can also expect everyone to love them, especially the kids.
Make Any Dessert Festive
- Pastel colored frosting is one of the easiest ways to dress up an Easter treat. Use Vanilla Buttercream Frosting or Cream Cheese Frosting as the base.
- Easter egg-shaped desserts are fun to make and serve.
- Trifles are a great way to show off layers of pretty and delicious ingredients.
- Peeps. Whether you love them or not, these sugar-covered marshmallows can turn any dessert into an Easter theme.
- Easter-themed sprinkles.
- Nest-shaped desserts are fun. Easily use cookie dough or Rice Krispies to shape a nest then fill it with frosting and egg-shaped candies.
- Add your favorite Easter candy. Adding colorful chocolate eggs, jelly beans, robin’s eggs, or even colored M&M’s to your desserts can instantly give them an Easter theme.
