Whether you celebrate Easter, Passover or Ramaden, enjoying dessert on special occasions is likely part of your celebration. And when that dessert is gluten-free, it means that everyone can enjoy it!
I've rounded up my favourite gluten-free dessert recipes for Easter and 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 or two to make for your family when you're planning your Easter menu. 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.

Make-ahead gluten-free desserts for Easter and Spring
Planning a meal for family or friends can be a lot of work! If you can have a 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. Or use it as the filling for Mini Pavlova.
- 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?
However you choose to celebrate this year, make it delicious!
