40 Best Easy Easter Desserts

Looking for the most adorable easy Easter desserts? You've just found them! Any of these recipes would be beautiful on your dinner table on Easter.

Most holidays have a starring dish that everyone is familiar with; turkey for Thanksgiving, ham for Christmas, and champagne for New Year's Eve. Easter, however, is a bit different.

The traditional Easter meal may consist of either ham, lamb, or chicken. We have always had a big ham (leftovers!), potato salad, and deviled eggs.

My mom made the best potato salad ever, and I think I'm pretty close to matching it after many years of trying! I have the deviled eggs down pat, and the ham is easy. Yum! I can almost smell that ham in the oven now!

The Easter holiday has never had a particular dessert associated with it. At least not in my home as I was growing up. Do you remember something special your family served? 

No matter the main dish you have for your Easter family dinner, it's often the dessert that people most look forward to eating. These easy Easter dessert recipes will end your Easter meal on a sweet, happy, delicious note, and you have 20 fantastic recipes to choose from below. Enjoy!
