What Are You Baking for Easter?

Hello there, Reader! In last week’s newsletter, I shared Planning Your Easter Menu? Don’t Forget the Sides! If you missed it, you can catch up HERE. With Easter just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about something sweet to end the meal. From classic favorites to simple homemade treats, these desserts are a lovely way to celebrate the holiday with family and friends. Pastiera Napoletana is a classic Italian Easter pie with ricotta, wheat berries, and delicate citrus notes—perfect for making ahead. Next, we have ricotta pie, a traditional Italian dessert perfect for any special occasion. Made with creamy ricotta cheese and a flaky crust, this pie perfectly balances sweet and tangy. It's a great option for those who prefer a lighter, less sugary dessert. We have rice ricotta pie for those wanting to try something unique. This family recipe combines ricotta cheese's creaminess with rice's chewy texture for a truly delicious dessert. If you prefer a whole platter of cookies, I've got you covered, from Amaretti to Lemon Ricotta Cookies. You’ll also find favorites like Chocolate S Cookies, Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti, Chocolate Pizzelle, and Chocolate Spice Cookies—a little something for everyone.
Of course, no Easter celebration is complete without hot cross buns. These sweet, spiced buns are a traditional Easter treat in many countries, and for good reason! Their soft, fluffy texture will surely be a hit with your family and friends.
If you are looking for an authentic Italian Easter dessert, look no further than this family recipe for these sweet mini ricotta pies, Fiadoni Dolci con Ricotta!
