Gluten Free Easter Dessert Recipes

Mar 27, 2023 · Leave a Comment

These easy gluten free Easter dessert recipes are perfect for the holiday. Whether you want something chocolate, coconut or with fruit I've put together a list of delicious recipes. All of these recipes are simple to make from scratch with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.

If making a layer cake isn't your thing you can always make them in a 9x13 inch baking dish and just frost the top. This will really cut down on the time it takes to make the cake by skipping the filling and frosting the layers.

I'm always a fan of serving bars for dessert. They are simple to make and then slice and serve with whipped cream or ice cream. I love to make homemade whipped cream. It's so simple! In your stand mixer just add 1-2 cups of heavy whipping cream, ½ cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla extract. Use the whisk attachment to beat on high until stiff peaks form.
