Your guests will be thrilled with any of these options. Whether you're serving Easter dinner or brunch or asked to bring a dessert to a gathering, we've got you covered!
A combination of cake and cheesecake, this delicious Italian Lemon Ricotta Cake is a one-bowl, no-mixer recipe you can throw together in minutes!
“Heavenly” is the best way to describe this Lemon Cheesecake with Glazed Berries. With a make-ahead, no-bake filling, a marmalade-glazed, fresh fruit topping, and a melt-in-your-mouth, shortbread crust, this dessert never fails to bring accolades.
With a coconut-almond shortbread crust and a delicious sweet/tart filling, this Key Lime Crunch Tart is always a hit!
If you're looking for something a little lighter, we've got you covered! Delicious, unique and super-versatile, this Limoncello Syrup is fabulous drizzled on fresh fruit, yogurt, ice cream and fruit desserts.
This moist, delicious, Super Easy Carrot Cake is made in the food processor. The best part? It takes 5 minutes, from start to the oven!
Do you have 10 minutes? That’s all it takes (hands-on time) to whip up these super delicious Lemon and White Chocolate Pots de Crème!
Lemon Buttermilk Pound Cake is the answer when you need a moist, buttery, delicious and easy dessert – in a hurry!
With sweet raspberry jam nestled between melt-in-your-mouth shortbread and a buttery crumble topping, this Raspberry Jam Shortbread Tart is beyond delicious!
Easter is one of our very favorite holidays, a special time of year to meditate on the wonderful, "indescribable" gift God gave us through his Son, Jesus. Because of that, we can truly say "Happy Easter" - with great joy in our hearts! Our family will be gathering in Memphis where our daughter, Cait and her family live. Can't wait to all be together! Hoping your Easter is blessed and delicious!
