Easter Sunday is right around the corner and there’s no better way to celebrate than with some delicious desserts. Whether you’re running a restaurant, catering an event, or just hosting at home, these unique dessert ideas are sure to sweeten your Easter celebration. Let’s take a look at some of the best options.
Mini Carrot Cake Cupcakes
Carrot cake is a classic favorite for Easter celebrations and these mini carrot cake cupcakes are no exception. Not only are they delicious, but they’re also eye-catching and easy to make. All you need is white cake mix, carrots, eggs, oil, and cream cheese frosting. Mix together the ingredients for the cupcake batter and fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter. Bake in a preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before adding cream cheese frosting on top of each cupcake.
Raspberry Coconut Macaroon Bars
These raspberry coconut macaroon bars are a great alternative to traditional pies for your Easter celebration. All you need is shredded coconut flakes, sweetened condensed milk, raspberry jam, and powdered sugar glaze (powdered sugar mixed with water). Start by mixing together shredded coconut flakes and sweetened condensed milk in a bowl until well combined. Transfer the mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper and spread into an even layer using the back of a spoon or spatula. Spread raspberry jam over the top of the coconut mixture then cover with another layer of shredded coconut flakes on top of that. Bake in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top. Allow cooling time before topping with powdered sugar glaze, cutting into bars and serving!
Marshmallow Peeps Cake Pops
Marshmallow peeps are one of those classic Easter treats everyone loves so why not incorporate them into something unique like these marshmallow peeps cake pops? All you need is boxed yellow cake mix (or whatever flavor fits best), vegetable oil, eggs, buttercream frosting (homemade or store-bought) and marshmallow peeps. Start by mixing together all ingredients for your cake mix according to instructions on the box then bake in an 8×8 inch baking pan according to instructions as well (or use whatever size pan works best). Once cooled completely (you can pop it in the fridge if needed), break apart pieces of the cake into small chunks then form them into balls using your hands or spring-loaded cookie scoop. Insert lollipop sticks halfway through each one then freeze them overnight before dipping them in melted buttercream frosting until fully coated (make sure to clear away any excess drips). Lastly place one marshmallow peep on top of each pop before letting them set again until hardened (you can sprinkle colorful candy sprinkles as well if desired).
