Mini Rainbow Cheesecakes
These no-bake treats are as cute as they are tasty, with a creamy cheesecake base divided into different bowls and tinted with bright food coloring. To make them, first layer the differently colored bases into cupcake liners on top of a graham cracker crust. Next, chill them for a few hours until they are firm. These adorable desserts are delicious and perfect for kids and adults alike! Plus, don't forget to top them with festive sprinkles, whipped cream, or even Cadbury eggs.
Charcuterie Board
A feast for the eyes and the stomach, charcuterie boards are ideal for Easter gatherings. Not only are they easily customizable to fit your taste, but they take very little time to assemble, as they mostly use store-made products. Typically, charcuterie boards feature a selection of cheeses, cured meats, crackers, fresh fruit, pickles, and olives; however, it's ultimately up to you what you add. So, consider adding in a few pastel candies, mini chocolate eggs, or bunny-shaped crackers to give it a seasonal twist. Overall, a charcuterie board is perfect for grazing before or after the big egg hunt!
Bunny-Shaped Sugar Cookies
Bunnies perfectly exemplify Easter, which is why these bunny-shaped cookies are a perfect Easter dessert. To make these cookies, simply use your favorite sugar cookie dough, roll it out, and cut it into the shapes of bunnies. You can do this either using your free hand or cookie cutters. Once the cookies are baked and cooled, decorate them with royal icing, sprinkles, or edible eyes to make them truly festive. These cookies are perfect for decorating with younger kids and are sure to make great treats for Easter baskets!
Pickled Onion Arugula Salad
For a more savory option, consider making a pickled onion and tomato arugula salad. Nothing says spring like fresh ingredients, and this salad is full of them! It's bright, acidic, and sure to leave a lasting impact on your friends and family. Start by quick-pickling red onions in vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Then toss fresh arugula with a light lemon and olive oil dressing before topping it off with the pickled onions and sliced tomatoes. If you're feeling fancy, you could even add crumbled goat cheese, toasted nuts, strawberries, or cranberries. This dish is the perfect side to your Easter dinner and will add a bright, peppery kick to your meal.
Food is more than just sustenance; it brings people together and is usually the centerpiece at gatherings. So, this Easter, let your food be as colorful as the holiday itself!
