Entertaining over the four-day weekend? Then check out our Easter dessert recipes. We’ve rounded up the very best chocolate desserts, springtime puds and showstopper confections to finish off your Easter lunch.
There’s an Easter dessert for every budget, group-size and skill level in this handy recipe round up. If you can’t imagine Easter without chocolate, take a look at seriously chocolatey desserts like this teetering double-choc meringue tower. Save pudding room for this salted caramel brownie pudding with ice cream, or delight the white chocolate fans with a showstopping caramelised white chocolate cheesecake.
Need a break from the choc? Rhubarb can be seriously good at this time of year. Try this elegant rhubarb and rose crumble tart or these fun rhubarb and custard blondies for a relaxed gathering. Refreshing and zesty citrus desserts are a smart option after a heavy Sunday lunch. Try a quick lemon and ginger fool or classic American dessert, key lime pie.
Scroll down for plenty more timeless options, including a crowd-pleasing carrot cake , trad sticky toffee pudding and a make-ahead chocolate meringue wreath.
