Easter Recipe Ideas

In spite of the snowfall this week, spring is here. Which means lighter desserts, such as pavlovas topped with berries and lemon curd, and berry sprinkled tarts are popping up all over my feed. Love.

I’ve assembled a few of my favorite ideas from Martha Stewart, and Southern Living, etc. I’m pretty sure some of these will appear on our dessert table this Sunday.

Key lime pie is such a lovely transitional dessert for the season. The brightness of lime is a welcomed diversion from heavier winter flavors, and the light green is as indicative of spring as the buds on the trees. Martha Stewart has given us a No-Bake Key Lime Cheesecake, an “airy, mousse-like treat” that boasts completion in 35 minutes… she’s got my attention.

And how about this beautiful Almond & Blackberry Cream Pavlova from CamilleStyles.com? Gorgeous! (Also, the featured image.) I’m ecstatic about all of the fresh fruit coming into season. And I’m always ready to welcome the light crunch followed by the dense chew of the sweet marshmallowy treat known as pavlova. Always. Bring it.

There is just something about Easter dessert that is etched in my mind with cream puddings and silk pies; much more than chocolate bunnies and jelly beans. I love banana pudding. Truly. It is comfort food in dessert form. So when I was reading 50+ Delightful Spring Desserts from Southern Living, it was natural to click on the Coconut-Banana Pudding Recipe feature from MyRecipes.com… Coconut and Banana? Definitely yes.

He is Risen!

Happy Easter everyone!
