Basic ingredients stir together in a bowl and then firm up in the fridge to make the easiest, yummiest Cheesecake Bites that are lower in added sugar (as a bonus).

This Ricotta Pie is so simple to make—you just stir the ingredients together in a bowl and pour it into an unbaked pie crust shell and bake—no need for an electric mixer or food processor.

Easter Desserts for Kids Tips
- Refer to the storage info on each individual recipe for the make-ahead specifics.
- Add shredded coconut to the top of the vanilla cake or carrot cake cupcakes (with chocolate eggs if the kids are over 4 to avoid choking hazards) to give them the look of a spring bird’s nest.
- Add fresh fruit such as raspberries or strawberries to any of these.
- We like to leave Easter sugar cookies out for the Easter Bunny.
- Pick up an egg-shaped cookie cutter to turn rice crispy treats into fun Easter desserts.
- For little kids, bunny chocolates and chocolate chips are safer options than jelly beans, candy Easter eggs, and small round peanut butter eggs—just as a reminder!
- Pair my easy Cheesecake Dip with bunny cookies, pretzels, and fresh fruit for an easy Easter dessert for kids.
