Our pretty spring desserts highlight our favorite light-and-fresh bakes in pastel hues.
Where most people love to bake in the fall, in the summer or during the Christmas season, my favorite time to bake is in the spring. I’m so inspired by the pretty pastels, in-season produce (hi, rhubarb!) and the lighter flavors—a welcome respite after a long season of heavy winter meals. Finally, it’s time for all things carrot cake, strawberry, lemon poppyseed, banana and matcha, and don’t even get me started on the cute Easter treats and pretty green desserts for St. Patrick’s Day.
We hand-selected our very favorite spring desserts for this collection. You’ll find a few expected spring desserts, like banana pudding, lemon pie, carrot cake and strawberry-rhubarb cobbler, as they’re quintessential to the season. But keep your mind open to some of our more trendy and modern spring desserts that are just as seasonal and pretty in their pastel hues, like pistachio cheesecake bars, carrot cake cinnamon rolls, Earl Grey tiramisu and the chicest rhubarb tart on the internet.
A few holidays land in spring, so there are a handful of St. Patrick’s Day and Easter desserts on the list. Don’t worry: They’re not so on-theme that you can make them only on the holiday; Shamrock Shake pie and peanut butter robin’s eggs are perfectly enjoyable any time from March through May. Many of these are make-ahead-friendly—perfect if you’re going to a spring gathering—but please don’t feel as if you need any other excuse to make spring recipes than just welcoming in the season of newness.
