Best Easter Desserts

To me, Easter desserts should be a little taste of springtime. I want to see bright, happy desserts! Cool, creamy pies. Maybe a bit of fruit. Beautiful cakes. And of course, I can’t resist tossing in a little chocolate, too.

Here are some of my favorite desserts to make for Easter. I hope you’ll find some baking inspiration here. Enjoy! And happy Easter!

    Looking back over my printed menus for the last several years it seems I usually make something lemony or with coconut for Easter.  This year I am making Tres leches Cake since it’s been quite awhile since my family has enjoyed it.  Would love to make all of yours and just eat dessert, lol.

    I wanted to make my coconut cake, but it is too much work. I totally forgot about an Italian tart until I saw this post. Thanks!
