Easter desserts can be simply divine. While some holidays are about the main feast, Easter highlights chocolate treats, pretty pies, and the first luscious fruits of spring! See our mouthwatering Easter desserts, including a traditional lamb cake, strawberry cheesecake, lemon meringue pie, carrot cake, rhubarb pie, and coconut cake.
Don’t let the Easter bunny eat all the carrots. The Best-Ever Carrot Cake is moist, rich, and topped with a tasty cream cheese frosting. We’ve tested this reader recipe, and trust us—it’s aptly named!
Pavlova is a gorgeous meringue dessert that is crisp on the outside and marshmallow-soft on the inside, then piled high with fresh fruit (and whipped cream)!
Our vintage recipe for lemon pie is smooth and light, with just the right hint of tartness. So, if you’re a fan of lemony things, we know you’ll enjoy the superb two-crust lemon pie! Also, see our recipe for Lemon Meringue Pie as well as Lemon Chess Pie.
Rhubarb is often the first fruit of spring. There’s no better time to make rhubarb pie than on Easter! It’s sweet, tart, and the prettiest shade of pink.
You can never have too much chocolate! This decadent cup of smooth Chocolate Mousse has a whisper of almond flavor and is topped with slivered almonds or berries.
Also, consider making a braided Easter bread! With its pretty dyed eggs tucked inside, Italian Easter Bread is not only delicious but also makes a beautiful edible centerpiece!
