Festive Bite-Sized Easter Desserts
Airy Cinna-Bunnies
Recipe from So Dressed Up Life and Style
These airy Cinna-bunnies look beautiful and they’re surprisingly simple to make. You’ll just need canned cinnamon rolls and your choice of decorations. Next, you’ll cut one cinnamon roll at a time to make an “M” shape for the ears and attach it to a cinnamon roll. When the cinnamon rolls bake, they shape beautifully into a bunny ready to be decorated. While the linked recipe shows a ribbon, you could always swap it out with a bow made from frosting!
Fancy Birds Nest Cupcakes
Recipe from Home Made Interest
Don’t let the term fancy fool you. These decadent cupcakes don’t require a professional baker but are decorated so beautifully that they’ll look like you hired one. The base is a boxed devil’s food cake with an easy marshmallow filling piped through the center. To create the bird’s nest look, you’ll pipe frosting across the top and adorn it with candy eggs to finish the look.
Easter Fruit Pizza Cookies
Fruit pizzas are a light and airy sweet treat that has become a spring and summer favorite for many. This bite-sized version captures all of the fresh sweetness without the mess of cutting them into servings. Instead, soft sugar cookies are layered with rich cream cheese and vibrantly colored fresh fruit for a perfectly portioned dessert. The recipe includes a sugar cookie recipe, but if you’re on a time crunch, you could easily swap that out for packaged sugar cookie mix.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Chocolate-covered strawberries are a decadent treat on their own, but this themed take on them makes them a perfect addition to your Easter table. Fresh strawberries are dipped in orange candy melts to create the adorable look of carrots for the Easter bunny. Drizzling the chocolate with leftover candy melts creates lines that add an extra touch to the carrot look. Serve these plated or dress them up with pudding cups topped with Oreos to create the illusion of carrots sprouting from the soil.
Mini Meringue Pies
Nothing says spring like lemon meringue pies’ vibrant yellow and airy deliciousness. This take on the traditional pie gives the taste you know and love in a convenient little package. This recipe is excellent for those whose busy schedule only allows them to make a little at a time. Bake the pie crusts ahead of time and the lemon filling the day before your Easter meal. Then, whip up the meringue on Easter and assemble your pies for a freshly made dessert.
Planning your Easter meal to include these bite-sized Easter desserts is a fun and festive way to celebrate the holiday. Plus, these tiny treats pack full-sized flavors in convenient, easy-to-serve portions.
