Growing up Easter always meant a chance to have my Nannie’s signature dessert – she called them Honey Balls, and they are essential fried balls of dough left to sit in (and soak up) honey. They’re sweet and sticky and never lasted until dessert. True to many old-school Italian cooks, she never wrote a recipe down. Try as I might to recreate her Honey Balls I always find that they’re missing something, although I still make them every year! Now I try to create new traditions with my children as well, making fun desserts and cookies for Easter. They love to be in the kitchen and sweets are their favorite thing to make! Here are a few of our favorite (and easy!!) Easter Dessert Recipes – from the whimsical and fun to the seriously delicious (helllooo creme egg cheesecake), there’s a dessert here that will have everyone’s mouth watering!
