Easter dessert recipes
Discover our favourite easy Easter dessert recipes. We’ve rounded up the very best chocolate desserts, cheesecakes, trifles, pavlovas and tarts to finish off your Easter lunch in style.
-
- Traditional Easter recipes: Keep things classic with a timeless simnel cake or sticky toffee pudding. We love this chocolate Easter nest cake filled with mini eggs.
- Inspiration from around the world: Our hero dessert for 2025 is this Middle East-inspired baklava dome cake with vibrant pistachio frosting. We’ve also got a Viennetta twist on New York cheesecake you’ll love and cozonac, a Romanian Easter bread ideal for serving with coffee.
- Make-ahead ideas: These simple two-layer chocolate mousses can be made up two days ahead. Our fan-favourite limoncello and white chocolate cheesecake also keeps for 48 hours in the fridge.
- Easy and impressive: How about an Easter trifle? Try our hot cross bun pudding version. This chocolate mousse cake is always a hit, too.
- Light and zesty: Make an elegant rhubarb and rose crumble tart or these fun rhubarb and custard blondies. Citrus desserts are refreshing after a heavy Sunday lunch: think French lemon tart or American key lime pie.
