35+ Elegant Easter Desserts

Easter is my time to shine every year. Even though my aunt hosts (and is a complete gourmet home cook) for the past 5 years she has allowed to me bring Easter dessert.

…which is kind of a big deal.

Irish-Italian families take Easter eating very seriously. I can’t just follow up her 6+ course meal with just any dessert. It has to be something amazing and decadent that will go equally well with a cup of coffee or that last glass of wine.

I think I’ve got something pretty amazing planned but just in case you’re also in brainstorm mode for Easter Dessert, I thought I’d collect a few deliciously elegant Easter Dessert Ideas for you to drool over!

Over 25 Unique and Easy Easter Dessert Ideas - from Easter cakes, Easter cupcakes, no-bake Easter ideas and more!

Easy Easter Desserts

I know there are a lot of purists out there who stick to the same Easter dessert every single year – but I’m not one of them.

As much as I love a great carrot cake, I love the opportunity to get creative and bring something new and delicious to our family get-togethers every year.

Even if you still want to serve a carrot cake, many of the smaller desserts on this list would be great for serving on the side – for the kids or any family members who aren’t huge carrot cake fans.

No matter what you chose to serve, some cute Easter kitchenware will make your presentation even sweeter! I am adoring this bunny cake stand, this two-tiered bunny server for mini desserts and pretty cupcake liners are always a good idea!

This list initially started off at 25 dessert ideas but it now consists of 35 unique Easter dessert ideas to inspire your holiday planning.
