    2. Carrot Cake Cupcakes

    Who says you can’t get your daily serving of veggies from your dessert? These amazing from-scratch cupcakes include real grated carrot and are topped with the most amazing cream cheese frosting!

    3. Key Lime Pie

    You won’t be able to resist the delicious graham cracker crust filled with a tart, sweet, and super-creamy filling! And to make things even easier, you can use key lime juice instead of squeezing all those limes yourself.

    10. Lemon Meringue Pie

    If you’ve been worried about making this dessert in the past, put your fears aside! The homemade lemon filling and sweet meringue take some time, but the process is easy to follow, and the result is SO worth it.

    11. Creme Eggs

    After one bite, you’ll want to stuff the kids’ Easter baskets with the store-bought kind and keep these copycat Cadbury eggs all for yourself! They’re also perfect to make any time of year when you can’t find Cadbury eggs in the store.

    12. Mini Easter Egg Cheesecake

    14. Easter Trifle

    Looking for a show-stopping dessert that can double as a centerpiece? This trifle includes layers of colorful cakes, vibrant pudding, and Cool Whip with edible Easter decor on top as the finishing touch!

    15. Lemon Bars

    Whether it’s Easter, Mother’s Day, or a day of the week that ends in “y,” you can never go wrong making a batch of lemon bars! The soft citrus center combined with a dusting of powdered sugar on top is always a winner.

    16. Carrot Cake Cookies

    These copycat Crumbl carrot cake cookies are so addicting, they should probably come with a warning. They taste exactly like a slice of carrot cake with just the right amount of spice and a homemade cream cheese frosting on top!

    18. Strawberry Pie

    This old-fashioned recipe’s short ingredient list and vibrant strawberry flavor are why it’s stood the test of time! A combination of sliced strawberries and strawberry jello makes it such a fresh and delicious dessert.

    19. Italian Easter Cookies

    Also known as uncinetti, which means “crochet” in Italian, these quick and easy cookies topped with a simple lemon glaze are a breeze to make. You can also have the little ones help you decorate for some family fun in the kitchen!

    20. Carrot Cake Bars

    If blondies and carrot cake had a baby, it would be these irresistible dessert bars! Just the right amount of cinnamon and a generous swirl of rich cheesecake make these bars the perfect Easter treat. 

    21. Easter Poke Cake

    Italian twisted bread rolls are lightly sweetened and rise beautifully while achieving a lovely golden brown color. After the bake, place a dyed Easter egg right in the center for a crowd-pleasing treat.

    28. Peeps S'mores Dip

    This 2-ingredient dessert uses Easter peeps to make a fun and festive s’mores dip! The colors are simply delightful, and the melted chocolate below is heavenly. Serve with graham crackers or pretzels for dipping!

    What could be more lovely to add to your Easter table than an assortment of seasonal fruit atop chilled pastry cream nestled inside a traditional tart crust? Brush the fruit with a melted apricot glaze to give it a unique finishing touch!

    30. Banana Pudding

    Sometimes, you just can’t beat a classic. Layers of creamy pudding, banana slices, and Nilla Wafers come together for a dessert that’s simple to assemble but guaranteed to keep you coming back for more!

    31. Pavlova

    Mini pavlovas are crisp on the outside, marshmallow soft on the inside, and perfect for topping with fresh fruit. While this dessert is perfect for your Easter brunch, it would also be a romantic way to round out a Valentine’s meal!

    32. Robin Egg Fudge

    Looking for a recipe you can make with the kids? They’ll love helping you crush the robin egg candy into chunks before you mix the pieces into the vanilla malt fudge! Just don’t be surprised when this delicious, colorful treat disappears in a flash.
