Easter dessert?

[CurlyQ284]

What are you making for dessert? Growing up Easter was not a big deal in our house, just a basket in the morning. ILs are coming and it's bigger to them and I don't know what to make for dessert.

Someone on here posted this coconut cake and it looks so good! You could dye the coconut green and throw some candy eggs on there.

I'm making mini apple pies because its all I know how to make. I know it doesn't really go with the meal, but it was either that or funfetti cupcakes.

My friends family (SUPER religious) make a red velvet lamb cake every Easter. White fluffy icing, chocolate for eyes, then you'd slice into red cake. I guess the lamb is Jesus and eating the cake is showing his sacrifice? I dunno. My family just are Cadbury eggs.

Carrot cake cheesecake

My Mom is bringing cheesecake. I am making pie and maybe a bunny cake.

I am making this coconut cake:

I am worried I might be in over my head.

I usually make barefoot contessa coconut cupcakes, they're amazing

[ledareansley]

Poor Jesus. Hasn't he been through enough at this point in the weekend?

My mom makes an apple tart that is amazing and she hoards the recipe because she's a trick like that. I think coconut cake would be good.

I am making a dirt cake I saw on Pinterest. It has coconut dyed with food coloring for grass and you decorate with peeps and candy eggs. It is ridiculous but really cute. LOL

Omg, thanks for the idea. I was blanking on a dessert and I've been meaning to make berry pierogies for a while.

I've made this and it was fantastic!

[pierogigirl]

I think I'm going to make strawberry cake with whipped lemon cream cheese frosting and, maybe, ricotta cookies.

Slutty brownies.

[wambam]

If setting up shop next to the basket of dove chocolate eggs my mil will inevitably have is wrong, I don't want to be right.

[venice2007]

Carrot cake
Lemon cheese cake
Strawberry shortcake cake

These are my go to Easter desert. www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/cream-wafers

My mom used to make two round cakes, and use one for the face of a bunny and cut the other in half to make the ears. Then she would ice it and use toasted coconut over the whole thing to make it "furry" lol. Some spare Easter candy for eyes, nose and mouth, and voila!

Something easier might be a white cake trifle with vanilla pudding, mixed berries and whipped cream, so tasty.

I love these cookies! Are they difficult to make? Seems very tedious.

This is why they are Easter cookies. Not difficult, but annoying to make, so I'll only do them once a year. The results are worth it though!

My H is going to make a chocolate bourbon pecan pie. It's soooo good.

My mom still makes this for us every year. My youngest sibling is 30.

Chocolate chip cookie dough base, topped with a Reese's cup, with brownie batter poured over top. They are ridiculous.

Classic! I'm sure she still would, but with grandkids and now great grandkids, the Easter meal itself has gotten to be a big undertaking for her, so she doesn't have time to make bunny cake. We try to help as much as we can and try to make her leave the kitchen, but no dice.

I'm making a fruit pie and a chilled pie for dessert (probably blueberry and french silk)

[sofamonkey]

Penelope wants to help me make this, and my mom OK'd it.  lol  It will be fun, but not sure where on the ol' tasty meter.
