The sun has finally decided to make an appearance, so let’s celebrate the sunshine and unthawing with bright and fresh springtime desserts. There’s nothing like that pop of lemon or that burst of berries to get you ready for warmer weather. Here are some Spring dessert recipes that are sure to make your taste buds sing with happiness!
Lemon Chess Pie
“Either way, chess pie is just a good old fashioned dessert. Lemon chess pie is my personal favorite. I like to make it with my mix in the pan pie crust for a total old fashioned, simple but good experience but it works beautifully in a standard store bought pie crust, as you’ll see in this tutorial.” - Christy
Moist Strawberry Cake
“My family requests this cake over all others. The longer it is in the fridge the more moist it becomes. The only problem is that it does not last long. Hope you will enjoy making this as much as I do, and that your family considers it one of their favorites too!!!” - Kitchen Crew
Blackberry Cobbler
“So here’s my take on blackberry cobbler… I reminds me so much of going to pick blackberries along the roadside with my grandparents when I was a kid. We’d wash them up and my grandmother would quickly turn out a delicious cobbler, served, of course, with vanilla ice cream! Yum!” - Stacey
Beautiful Blueberry Lemon Bundt Cake
“I made the lemon cake without the blueberries and added extra lemon extract and lemon oil. What a delis and moist cake! I topped it with fresh fruit purees, blueberry and cherry. Yum!” - Cat
Fresh Strawberry Pie
“This fresh strawberry pie recipe will brighten up any dessert table. The simplicity of the pie with its strawberry glaze filling means it can be prepped in no time. Add a dollop of whipped topping when serving and you have a pie that's not only delicious but beautiful too.” - Kitchen Crew
Lemon Almond Cake
“This lemon almond cake is amazing just like this but I like to make it even better by drizzling it with lemon syrup to add even more lemon flavour and make the cake so nice and moist! I enjoy this cake best when it’s still warm from the oven but it’s also good at room temperature. If you are looking for a nice light dessert option this spring, this lemon almond cake is a stunning option!” - Kevin
Blueberries and Cream Cake
“Attention blueberry lovers, this blueberry cake recipe is for you! Do not let all the steps scare you. It's a bit time consuming but the end product is beautiful and oh so yummy! The cake isn't overly sweet - nice and delicate. The cream cheese frosting is rich and delicious. The blueberry glaze, though, sets this over the top!” - Kitchen Crew
Strawberry & Cream Pound Cake with Jello
“Strawberry & Cream Pound Cake with Jello is a buttery, soft, and super moist pound cake with two flavors. The popular combination of strawberries and cream is put together in a unique way to make an extraordinary pound cake!” - Paula
Watergate Cake With Pineapple
“I have been making a pistachio cake and Watergate salad for years. So I decided to combine the two. This is a super moist yet light cake that gets gobbled up every time I make it. Enjoy!” - Melissa
Low Carb & Delicious Berry Crisp
“In short, it was OH mercy, so so so good! I really enjoyed the added flavor my low carb ingredients gave to the topping. In place of ice cream, I poured a little heavy cream over my serving like my ancestors used to do, and that tasted like melted ice cream and just sent this over the top. Heavy cream is a welcome bonus when you are eating keto!” - Christy
Pineapple-Orange Sunshine Cake
“This citrus cake is cool and fluffy! It's a lightened up version of a cake that was popular in the 1980's. The mandarin oranges are blended into the fluffy sponge-like cake. Then, it's frosted with Cool Whip mixed with vanilla pudding and crushed pineapples. The flavors give the cake a very tropical feel. Serve this cake cold straight from the fridge. It's a nice cool treat for a hot day.” - Kitchen Crew
Fresh Raspberry Bars
“Nonetheless, I put another great recipe together for them and now I can bring this one to y’all! The great part about this recipe is that if you’re not a raspberry fan, you can substitute blueberries, blackberries, or even strawberries to suit your taste.” - Stacey
Jamie's Blueberry Bundt Cake With Sauce
“This blueberry bundt cake is fantastic! It's buttery and moist with pops of sweetness from the blueberries. The cake's soft on the inside with a crunchy crust. Yummo! The blueberry sauce is heavenly. Not overly sweet, it intensifies the blueberry flavor in this delicious dessert. Don't like walnuts? Leave them out. We taste-tested the sauce both ways and it was divine either way.” - Kitchen Crew
Lemon Ricotta Strawberry Pie with Poppy Seed Shortbread Crust
“Although it is still cold here, Spring has officially arrived and what better way to celebrate than with strawberries! California strawberries are available year round but during Spring they are at their peak season and I thought that I would welcome in Spring with a fresh strawberry pie!” - Kevin
Baked Blackberry Ricotta Cheesecake
“Baked Blackberry Ricotta Cheesecake is the easiest cheesecake recipe you’ll ever make. This light and fluffy ricotta cheesecake is sweetened with agave nectar and packed with delicious, juicy blackberries.” - Paula
Rhubarb Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
“The rhubarb has a nice tang that goes well with the sweetness of the pineapple and strawberry Jell-o. The cake was perfectly moist with a hint of butter and pineapple flavoring.” - Kitchen Crew
Thank God For Berries Cake!
“This started out as a blueberry upside down cake. But then I added a filling and made it a layer cake. This LOVELY cake is better than chocolate! It has a heavy, moist texture, like an old fashioned, homemade shortcake. The lemon is just right...not sour. I was experimenting with a lemon bread recipe and came up with this lovely cake. You'll dream about this cake...I'm not kidding.” - Barbara
Oreo Blackberry Swirl Cheesecake
“I made this cheesecake for a friend who loves cheesecake. My husband doesn't like things to be too sweet and I love the combination of chocolate, cream cheese, and berries, so I pulled all three together to make this AMAZING cheesecake. I hope you enjoy the tangy touch of the yogurt sauce ;)” - Chelsea
Strawberry Jam Cake
“We understand why Rose's mother made this strawberry cake recipe on special occasions. It's super moist but firm enough to hold up 3 layers. The jam adds a punch of flavor next to the cake. The strawberry cream cheese frosting is rich and creamy. This cake will be great for any occasion and it's a strawberry lover's dream recipe!” - Kitchen Crew
Skillet Flaugnarde or Clafoutis
“Flaugnardes are an easy, French fruit and egg breakfast treat or dessert. Perhaps better known in the US as clafoutis, a true clafoutis is traditionally made with black cherries. A flaugnarde can be made with a wide variety of single or mixed fruits. Simply prepare the fruit, pour on the batter, and bake. Serve warm or cold. Accompany it with a scoop of ice cream, some whipped cream or Greek yogurt for a real treat.” - Heidi
Strawberry Lime Cheesecake Tart
“This cheesecake tart is creamy, smooth, tangy and delicious! The whipped cream really makes this light and airy - less dense than a normal cheesecake. The cinnamon flavor from the crust is yummy and adds another depth of flavor to the tart. The strawberry lime coulis is what makes this really special. It's sweet with hints of lime. It takes this heavenly dessert to a whole other level.” - Kitchen Crew
Drunken Blueberry Peach Cheesecake Tart
“This is a scrumptious fruit tart recipe. Fresh and delicious, this will be great to make after visiting your local farmers market. The blueberries are tart, the peaches sweet and the cheesecake layer is nice and creamy. I added pecans to the crust and loved it! Perfect for spring and summer.” - Kitchen Crew
Citrus Pound Cake with Orange Glaze
“There is just something fun about this cake. I have many more cakes I make and they are very good but they love this cake. My family just can't have any celebration without this cake! I hope you take a few minutes to try this, you will be happy you did!” - Donna
Blueberry Cheesecake
“I have made this many times over the years. It's always a hit and there is never a crumb leftover.” - Sharon
