Spring is literally just around the corner, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. We’ve had enough of being cooped up inside and I can’t wait for the flowers to start blooming, socially distanced family get-togethers, berry season, spring break, and of course, Easter. When I’m tasked with hosting Easter, I’m all about finding the easiest, most delicious Easter dessert recipes I can get my hands on. With the oven preoccupied with Easter ham and sides, going the no-bake route is always a bonus, so I can prepare it the night before and not worry about popping a pie or cake in the oven when we’re in the middle of our meal.
If you don’t have an extra oven on hand, I’ve got the perfect dessert solutions for you. Here are the best no-bake Easter dessert recipes out there. They’re incredibly tasty, and even better, you can make them the night before and check Easter dessert off of your to-do list early.
