Top Five Make-Ahead Easter Dessert Recipes

I've rounded up my TOP FIVE favorite desserts for Easter! Want to know the beauty of every single recipe?! They can all be made in advance, which is key for any holiday meal in my opinion!

Easter Blondies

If you didn’t get to make this recipe around Valentine’s Day then now is your chance! These blondies are perfect for SO many different occasions — dessert with ice cream, teacher gifts, party favors, or treats for co-workers! One thing is for sure — everyone will love them especially kiddos!

Creamy Lemon Bars

There’s nothing better than a sweet and tangy lemon bar! Make them creamy and it’s almost like cheating. Not to mention the buttery shortbread crust! These bars are the perfect combination of salty & sweet.

Strawberry Cupcakes

These strawberry cupcakes are some of my absolute favorites! I especially love how thick and fluffy the frosting is. Using strawberry puree gives the icing and cake a natural pale pink tint, which I love because it signifies they were made from scratch. 

Key Lime Pie

What I especially LOVE about this pie is how the tangy key lime filling is complemented by the sweet whipped cream, and crumbly graham cracker crust. Do yourself the biggest favor and make the crust from scratch! I promise you, it will make this pie stand out FAR above the rest! This pie can be made in advance, which is always a huge win in my book! In fact, I think it’s better if you have the time to make it the night before. It gives the pie plenty of time to fully set. Just hold off on making the whipped cream until just before serving!

Carrot Cake Sandwich Cookies

These carrot cake cookies couldn't be more perfect for Easter and they are much easier to make than a cake! The cream cheese frosting is out of this world delicious!
