Dessert is the best part of any meal, especially during the holidays. And with spring in full swing, there are so many great options to end your gathering on a high note. In fact, I have 17+ adorable Easter bite size dessert recipes that all of your guests will enjoy.
The 17+ Most Adorable Easter Bite-Size Dessert Recipes
1. Cheesecake Bites
These cheesecake bites are adorable and just the right size for guests to enjoy in a single bite. You’ll need graham crackers to make the crust along with cream cheese for the base. These bites will need to be refrigerated for at least a few hours before serving. To make coconut nests on top, add shredded coconut and egg candies.
2. Easter Mini Bundt Cakes
Mini bundt cakes are the perfect dessert to serve at Easter. To save time, use vanilla cake mix. Top with cream cheese icing, shredded coconut and candy eggs. You’ll need a mini bundt cake pan to make these, and it only takes about 10 minutes to bake them.
You can get as creative as you want when decorating your cakes. You can even add food coloring to your icing to add an extra pop of color to your dessert.
3. Strawberry Shortcake Cookie Cups
One of my favorite Easter bite size dessert recipes! These little cookie cups are sweet as pie and loaded with fresh strawberries. You’ll make these cookie cups from scratch in a muffin tin and use a spoon to make an indent for the filling of whipped cream, strawberries and powdered sugar. These little bite-sized treats will be loved by all of your guests – even the kids.
4. Mini Chocolate Cheesecake Pie Bites
Mini cheesecake bites with whipped cream, cherries and chocolate sprinkles. Need I say more? Refrigerated pie crust will save you time when making these. The chocolate cheesecake filling is so easy to make and rich in flavor, thanks to the melted chocolate chips. These only need to bake for 14-15 minutes before serving.
If you want to make these even more festive, you could replace the cherries with egg candies.

5. Easter Cookie Charcuterie Board
A cookie charcuterie board is the perfect dessert to serve at your gathering. I recommend adding pastel-colored candies and cookies to your board to make it festive for the occasion. You can add homemade sugar cookies, candies, crackers, donuts, chocolate-covered pretzels, brownie bites and whatever else you please.
Arrange all of your treats on an Easter-themed platter and serve with other candies or bite-sized treats.
6. No-Bake Black Bottom Strawberry Cheesecake Squares
These cheesecake squares are delicious and will be such a pretty addition to your table. The black bottom crust is made from Nabisco wafers and butter. The filling is a delicious blend of cream cheese, strawberries, heavy cream and sugar. Top with whipped mascarpone and edible flowers.
If you’re not a fan of strawberries, you can use raspberries, blueberries or blackberries instead. You can also use graham crackers instead of chocolate wafers if you prefer a more traditional flavor.
Prepare ahead of time for this recipe, as it will need to chill for at least six hours before serving.
7. Easter Bunny Brownie Bites
These little brownie bites are so cute and tasty. The best part? There’s no baking involved. You’ll use premade two-bite brownies for this recipe, along with white frosting (for the fur), pink candy (for the nose), mini chocolate chips (for the eyes), marshmallows (for the ears and snout) and spaghetti (used for the whiskers). Around the Nook gives a great step-by-step tutorial on how to make these adorable bite-sized desserts.
8. Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bites
Of all the Easter bite size dessert recipes on this list, this one takes the cake. You’ll need boxed carrot cake mix, along with cream cheese and candy melts (vanilla and orange). While the recipe doesn’t call for it, I like to add orange food coloring to the cake mix to make these more festive.
You can also try different variations of this recipe. For example, you can use strawberry cake mix or a green velvet cake mix for more festive options.
9. Easter Cookie Bars
Cookie bars are always a crowd pleaser, and they can easily be sliced into bite-sized pieces. It’s easy to make these from scratch using basic pantry ingredients. But the addition of Easter M&Ms and sprinkles adds fun colors to celebrate the season.
I also like to add frosting and sprinkles to my cookie bars to make them extra-special.
If you’re really pressed for time, you can use premade cookie dough.
10. Easter Nest Brownie Bites
These little Easter nest brownie bites are so cute and tasty. You’ll make these bites from scratch and top with buttercream icing. Green food coloring makes these bites more festive, and you can top with candy eggs, jelly beans or whatever else you want. You can also use two-bite brownies if you don’t have the time to bake.
Another variation is to make cookies instead of brownies and top with a cute nest of buttercream frosting and candy eggs.
11. Easter Bunny Brownies
These brownies are adorable and so easy to make. They’re topped with green frosting, sprinkles, egg candies and chocolate bunnies. I like to make brownies from scratch, but you can also use boxed mix if you want. If you’re not a fan of chocolate bunnies, you can add more sprinkles or other candies that you love.

12. Boston Cream Pie Bites
Boston cream pie in bite-sized form? Yes, please! While not traditionally an Easter or spring-themed dessert, this is still one treat that everyone will love. For this recipe, you’ll use sugar cookie mix to make the “pie” base. Vanilla pudding and heavy whipping cream will make up the filling and topping. Top each bite with drizzles of chocolate syrup and you have a dessert that will impress everyone.
13. Pink Velvet Cake Truffles
Few of the Easter bite size dessert recipes are as delish as these cake truffles with a true cake mix in the middle. And it’s a super simple recipe that only requires mixing cake mix, buttercream, milk, sprinkles and powdered sugar together.
Allow the mix to chill for 20 minutes, make into balls, dip in chocolate, add your sprinkles and let cool.
14. Peanut Butter Cookie Pie Baskets
Cookie pie baskets take less than 15 minutes to make, but you’ll need to allow the baskets to cool for two hours. You’ll need to buy Reese’s peanut butter cookie dough, chocolate chips, heavy cream and Cadbury mini eggs.
I recommend that you use piping bags, a hand mixer and mini muffin tin.
When the cookies are cooling, you’ll make the ganache frosting that takes the most time because it needs to be cooled before beating.
15. Mini Flower Lemon Tarts
Small, bite-sized flower tarts with powdered sugar on top and an egg yolk in the middle is a tasty, filling treat. You’ll learn how to make a homemade butter pie crust, use lemon zest and juice for flavor, sugar and powdered sugar for this recipe.
Easy to make, these tarts are tender and flaky with a refreshing lemon flavor.

16. Mini Chocolate Fudge Pies
Bite-sized fudge pies with a buttery crust never last long in my house. You’ll make the dough yourself by mixing the butter, sugar, flour and salt together with an electric mixer. Form the dough into a large ball and then divide into 24 smaller balls before pushing them into your greased muffin cup.
Bake for 10 minutes, press a spoon into the cups and put back in the oven for a few minutes.
Melt the chocolate and milk together in a microwaveable bowl, stir in the vanilla and fold together. Fill the cups with your fudge, put some shaved chocolate on top and then refrigerate to allow the pies to cool before serving.
17. Rainbow Funfetti Cookies
Easter bite size dessert recipes with cookies are always great for those with a sweet tooth. Nine ingredients are all it takes to make these cookies: butter, powdered sugar, eggs, vanilla and almond extract, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt and rainbow jimmies.
Whisk the butter and sugar together until fluffy and then add the egg and the vanilla and almond extracts.
Sift well with baking powder, flour and salt, and add to the wet mixture before adding sprinkles and the mix. Divide the dough evenly at a ¼” thickness, place on a piece of lightly floured parchment paper and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes and allow to cool before serving.
18. Peanut Butter Haystacks with Easter Eggs
Grab your muffin tin, peanut butter, white chocolate wafers, chocolate Easter eggs and chow mein noodles. Melt the chocolate and stir with powdered sugar until blended well.
You’ll mix in the peanut butter and noodles together before pressing into each muffin tin to create the “basket.”
Place your eggs in the center of the basket, refrigerate and allow to harden in the refrigerator before serving.
You can even make these adorable egg haystacks a few days before Easter.
19. Chocolate-covered Strawberries
Fresh strawberries and a half a pound of chocolate make a fantastic Easter treat. Place parchment paper over two baking sheets, add your chocolate to a double boiler with about one-third of water and bring to a boil.
Heat until your chocolate melts, and be sure to stir periodically.
Remove once the chocolate is thoroughly melted, dip the strawberries in them and allow to cool on a baking sheet. Once cool, you can serve these tasty treats. You can add any additional toppings on the chocolate, such as sprinkles, crushed candies or anything you like.
