60+ Easter Dessert Recipes

Even though I’m busy making Easter activities for the kids and Easter SVG files to share, I am planning Easter meals for my whole family too. I have hosted Easter brunch (which turns into an all-day Easter eggs-travaganza) for the last several years, so I am busy planning my menu for the whole day.

My favorite parts of planning Easter for my family are definitely the cocktails and the Easter desserts! I have always loved to bake, and it’s so fun to come up with desserts that are Easter Bunny approved.

From carrot cakes to a twist on hot cross buns to lemon cookies, there are SO many Easter dessert recipes that you can make for your family dinner this year. Some of my family’s favorites are pies, cheesecake, and anything that has Cadbury Mini Easter eggs! Not surprisingly, our dessert table is always full!

Don’t forget to pin this photo to Pinterest so you can remember all of these Easter desserts year after year!
