5 Minute Easy and Tasty Easter Dessert You’ll Love

Ingredients:

Individual shortcakes shells (my grocery store always has the pre-made ones over by the strawberries!)
Blueberries or strawberries, finely cut
Whip cream (if your store carries the Cabot “real” cream, it is 500% worth the splurge!)
Cadbury eggs
Chocolate bunnies (THESE work the best because they stand up better, though I didn’t have them on hand this time.)

How to Assemble Your Shortcake Desserts

Step 1:

After gathering your ingredients, choose whatever individual dish you’ll be using to assemble the dessert on. I love these individual cupcake stands because I use them all the time and they are so cute!

You won’t want to try to move the desserts after assembling them, so it’s best to build it right on the cupcake stand!

Step 2:

Next, add your fruit. We loved the blueberries, but it would also be delicious with strawberries. Since the cakes are small, make sure to cut thin slices with your strawberries.

For an easy embellishment, I added blueberries around the edge of the cake. Strawberries would be a little easier for this part, as the blueberries love to roll. ????. If you use blueberries for this Easter dessert, I recommend adding them around the edge once the dessert is set in place at the table! (speaking from experience here! haha!)

Step 3:

Especially if you’re using real whip cream, this step needs to come immediately before serving. Add a dollop of cream over the top of your fruit. If you’re really artistic and great with this kind of thing, you can even make it fancy! I just did a big swirl to prepare for the grand finale…step 4!

Step 4:

The last thing to do is add your Cadbury egg or chocolate bunny to the top! If you are serving this dessert for a time other than Easter, just add a seasonally appropriate treat. The chocolate, whip cream, and blueberries are delicious together!

Now, serve and enjoy!!!

Create a Pretty Centerpiece for Your Easter Dessert

I added my desserts to a quick and simple centerpiece. No matter what dessert you have on hand, dressing up the table with a cute dessert-scape is always fun and makes everything feel even more special!

Textured pot, comes in three sizes (great investment to use year round!)

I hope this quick and easy little Easter dessert idea helps you have some extra time for other things you want to do or maybe just takes a little stress off of the season for you. At the very least, a tasty treat to let your family know you love them and think they are special!

Enjoy!
