Carrot Patch Cheesecake
This cheesecake is sure to elicit some oohs and ahhs from your Easter dinner guests. Tip: Don't leave out the coconut oil! It makes the white chocolate much easier to work with, and will prevent the chocolate from breaking when food colouring is added.

Carrot Cake Traybake
Carrot cake traybake is one of our favourite springtime bakes to make. The ricotta frosting is a deliciously light and tangy twist on the classic cream cheese topping. Thyme might sound unusual here but the subtle herbal flavour works perfectly with the warming spices and orange flavour in the cake.

Chocolate Hot Cross Buns
Hot Cross Buns are great and all, but we just felt they were missing something. Chocolate, as usual, was the missing piece. A chocolate roll with a trace of orange, cinnamon, and chocolate chips makes the perfect morning bun.

Lemon Bars
These bars are the perfect make ahead dessert. They need a long chill time, so pop 'em in the fridge and leave them overnight. The next day, you'll be rewarded with perfectly set squares. (Plus, if you're like me, you prefer lemon bars cold.)

Lemon Meringue Pie
Trust us, the meringue is easier to make than you'd think. Have fun with it and give it some fun swoops and peaks with the back of a metal spoon.

Easter Egg Strawberries
Dyeing Easter eggs is a great tradition, but sometimes we don't want to eat the hard-boiled eggs, so they become purely decorative. That's why we are opting to decorate strawberries this year, instead.

Oreo Truffles
These little guys are about as no-fuss as a dessert can be!

Slow Cooker Carrot Cake
We absolutely LOVE carrot cake, and this slow cooker version is an absolute game-changer. You won’t have to worry about over-baking this little guy. He’s a bit denser and squidgier than a regular carrot cake, and that is no bad thing.
