10 Sweet Desserts for Easter

If you’re gathering around the table with family and/or friends on Easter Sunday, you definitely need a decadent dessert at the end. Whether it’s for brunch or a full-on feast, check out these 10 recipe ideas.

1. CadburyTM-Style Chocolate Cream Eggs

Our take on the popular Easter candies consists of a rich chocolate shell and a sweet, creamy centre. Wonderfully nostalgic, they’re fun to make and even better to eat!

2. Mille-Crepe Cake

Elegant and airy, this cake layers delicate crepes with a white chocolate mascarpone cream. It’s an impressive, showstopping dessert that’ll bring sophistication to your Easter feast.

3. Mango-Filled Coconut Cakes

Bright and tropical, these coconut cupcakes hide a tangy mango surprise inside. They’re light and pillowy, and crowned with caramelized meringue; perfect to add some sunshine to your holiday get-together.

4. Maple Syrup Pie (The Best)

Sugaring-off season and Easter always intersect, that’s why maple is such a great ingredient to add to our holiday desserts and treats. This sweet and gooey pie is a delicious way to cap off a family meal.

5. Raisin and Apricot Hot Cross Buns

Sweetened with cinnamon and studded with tender morsels of apricots and raisins, these hot cross buns will bring a cozy, spiced tradition to Easter morning. Especially when fresh out of the oven with a bit of butter!

6. Orange and Chocolate Cassata Cake

A traditional Sicilian Easter dessert, cassata cake boasts layers of ricotta, sponge cake, candied fruit and almond paste. The classic version is a bit complicated to make, so we streamlined the process and replaced the candied fruit with decadent flavours of chocolate and orange.

7. Chocolate Hen’s Nest Pie

Our popular chocolate tart is a playful treat thanks to decorations that include a hollow chocolate hen, candy-coated chocolate mini eggs and chocolate curls. It’s a rich and fun dessert that’ll be a guaranteed hit at the table.

8. Caramel Whipped Cream Chocolate Cake

With moist cake layers, rich, dark ganache and pillows of caramel whipped cream, this gorgeous cake will be the talk of your Easter get-together. And it tastes as good as it looks!

9. Eggless Lemon Pie

Bright, zesty and refreshing, lemon pie is a delight with its buttery crust and a silky lemon filling. Best of all, your loved ones with an egg allergy will be able to partake in this dessert.

10. Gluten-Free Carrot Cake

Moist, wonderfully spiced and topped with a tangy cream cheese frosting, carrot cake is a timeless classic for Easter that’s nostalgic and hits all the right notes. Even this gluten-free version will be a winner that everyone around the dinner table will want to indulge in.
