Fresh and fruity Easter desserts are always a big hit. You, too, can brighten up your table with any of these Blue Ribbon dessert recipes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a fast, light, and easy dessert that is great for entertaining,&#8221; is how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/aresm16\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Thomas Bohne<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Joppa%2C+MD&#038;fav=0&#038;page=1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Joppa, MD<\/a>) explains his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/dessert\/fruit-dessert\/balsamic-strawberries-w-honey-vanilla-ricotta-2.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Balsamic Strawberries With Honey Vanilla Ricotta<\/a> recipe.<\/p>\n<p>With a unique flavor, this cool and creamy dessert is as beautiful as it tastes. <\/p>\n<p>Balsamic vinegar and strawberries are a fantastic flavor combination. Ricotta cheese is whipped to a cream consistency, sweetened with honey, and just a touch of vanilla is added. It&#8217;s a very impressive dessert.<\/p>\n<p>I love the texture and intense flavor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/sokygal\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Teresa G.&#8217;s<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/dessert\/dessert-cake\/creamy-lemon-cheesecake.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Creamy Lemon Cheesecake<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the creamiest, most delicious lemon cheesecake, I promise,&#8221; thinks Teresa. &#8220;Everyone who has tasted it has loved it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Adding heavy whipping cream to the cheesecake batter is something I don&#8217;t usually do. From now on, I will because it adds extra creaminess to the cheesecake. On top is a delicious homemade lemon curd that gives an extra pop of lemon flavor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/dessert\/pie\/fresh-blueberry-pie-5.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fresh Blueberry Pie<\/a> is one of my seasonal favorites,&#8221; shares <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/taracooks\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tara Guthrie<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Sanford%2C+NC&#038;fav=0&#038;page=1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sanford, NC<\/a>). &#8220;Be sure to use fresh blueberries, not frozen. I also use a Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust to save time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Blueberries are delicious in almost anything, and this pie is right up there! It&#8217;s baked perfectly with just the right balance of sweetness from the sugar and tartness from the blueberries and lemon.<\/p>\n<p>A milk wash and sprinkle of sugar on the crust give the pie a special touch. It will trick people into thinking it took you all afternoon to make this fresh blueberry pie.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wanted to make a fresh fruit dessert, so I decided I would try to put together a peach dessert,&#8221; says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/jimorbecky\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Becky Hudgins<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Joshua%2C+TX&#038;fav=0&#038;page=1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Joshua, TX<\/a>). &#8220;My hubby tasted the icing and said he could just eat a bowl and be satisfied.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Becky&#8217;s husband is right. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/dessert\/cake\/southern-belle-peach-cake.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Southern Belle Peach Cake<\/a> is pretty amazing.<\/p>\n<p>The cake itself is moist with little bits of fresh peaches inside. The sweet and creamy homemade frosting has excellent peach flavor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This little place in the mountains has wonderful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/dessert\/pie\/bananas-foster-cream-pie.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bananas Foster Cream Pie<\/a>,&#8221; reveals <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/shlymu64\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sheri Mullins<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Midland%2C+TX&#038;fav=0&#038;page=1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Midland, TX<\/a>). &#8220;But when I went the last time, it wasn&#8217;t on the menu. This one is pretty close.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rich and decadent, this pie blends bananas foster with a banana cream pie. It&#8217;s delish! <\/p>\n<p>Sherri gives the option to use whipped cream or meringue on top. Either is delicious, but I opted to make a meringue because it makes the pie slightly more elegant. You can enjoy this warm, but chilling before serving will make slicing easier. <\/p>\n<p>Whether hosting an Easter brunch or a more formal sit-down dinner, these fresh and fruity Easter desserts are a tasty way to end the meal. Happy Pinching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For my family, the dessert portion of a holiday menu is as much of a priority as the main meal.
