Once the

Easter meal

is over, Grandma knows it’s time to break out the

desserts

. And of course, there will be more than one on the table. Just like Grandma’s kitchen, these classic Easter desserts are filled with plenty of nostalgia (and sugar!). Since Easter often marks the beginning of spring, you’ll see the best flavors of the season represented in Grandma’s favorite dessert recipes to mark the occasion.




From cakes to pies to cookies and more, these are Grandma’s favorite dessert recipes to enjoy on Easter Sunday.
