A delicious collection of 10 gluten-free desserts for Easter and Spring featuring Springtime flavours of carrot cake, lemon, strawberries and chocolate!
Whether you celebrate Easter, Passover or Ramaden, enjoying a special dessert is likely part of your celebration. And when that dessert is gluten-free, it means that everyone can enjoy it!
I've rounded up 10 of my favourite dessert recipes that I like to serve in the spring to share with you here.
Carrot cake, lemon, strawberries and chocolate are the flavours I most associate with springtime desserts. I've picked recipes that feature these, hoping that you can pick one to make for your family this year. And yes, they're all gluten-free!
If there are just two of you, or you and your kids, a smaller dessert might be better than making a full-sized cheesecake, for example. Many of the following dessert recipes can easily be halved.

Desserts you can make ahead of time
Planning a meal for family or friends can be a lot of work! If you can have dessert made a day or two before, it frees up time to make the rest of the meal. Many of these desserts can be made in advance.
For example, you can make Microwave Lemon Curd several days ahead of time, then use it to make Gluten-Free Lemon Curd Tart, Easy Lemon Curd Fruit Dip or Meyer Lemon Mini Parfaits.
Bake a carrot cake or cupcakes, refrigerate or freeze, then add frosting a day or two before you're planning to serve it.
Freeze this Gluten-Free Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Pie days or even weeks in advance, then thaw and reheat it in the oven. Delicious with a scoop of ice cream!
Make and freeze the cake portion of Sugar-Free Strawberry Shortcake and make the strawberry sauce in advance. Then all you'll have to do is thaw the cake, and assemble it with the strawberries and topping.
Which of these gluten-free desserts for Easter and Spring will you be making?
How ever you choose to celebrate this year, make it delicious!
