By the time Easter rolls around every year, I’m ready for some lighter, spring-inspired dishes, and this collection of our Favorite Easter Desserts offers plenty of tasty treats with bright spring flavors like citrus, pineapple and berries.
My biggest problem when it comes to holiday desserts is narrowing it down to just a few. They’re all so delicious, I want to make them all. Of course, then I’d end up eating them all, which wouldn’t be idea.
Whether your in the mood for baking, or whipping up a simple no-bake treat, you’ll definitely find a recipe here to suit your needs. And if you’re serving Easter brunch, there are plenty of sweet options here that work beautifully on any brunch buffet.
These tried-and-true recipes have become family favorites over the years, and we hope you love them as much as we do. But first, a few tips for hosting a relaxing holiday meal.
Tips for Hosting a Stress-Free Holiday Meal
- Offer a variety of sweet and savory items, as well as a few options for those with dietary restrictions. Don’t hesitate to supplement your home-made dishes with a few store-bought items.
- If you’re inviting family and friends, accept offers of help. When someone says, “Can I bring something?” your response should always be yes!
- Do as much as you can ahead of time. Use make-ahead, freezer, and slow cooker recipes where possible. Set out your serving dishes and set the table the night before.
- Don’t forget to relax and let everyone help out. You’ll never regret making one less dish so you can have more time to spend with family and friends. Being present for holidays and special occasions is more important than everything being perfect.
