Christian Easter Dessert & Treats for All Your Celebrations
As a mom of 10-year-old twin boys, I know the struggle of trying to keep the right focus on the true meaning of our Christian holidays. We are bombarded with consumerism and marketing, it’s so hard to keep my kids focused on the true reason we are celebrating.
But it’s a battle worth fighting.
While I’m not opposed to the Easter basket or bunnies or the ways our culture celebrates this holiday, it’s really important for me that those things are not the most important. or baskets.
There are many ways we do this, but my boys do love their sweets and treats. So shifting some of those homemade goods to Christian-themed Easter treats felt like an easy win.
So, let me share this simple idea to keep Jesus and His resurrection at the heart of your Easter celebrations with these amazing (& delicious) Christian Easter treats – cupcakes, cookies, and more!
Where to Share Christian Easter Desserts
There really isn’t a wrong way or place to share these treats.
Of course, they would be amazing at a family brunch or dinner on Easter Sunday.
But, think beyond that for some other ways you can celebrate – and share – the true meaning of Easter:
- Sunday School Snack
- Church Party
- Neighbor Gift
- Teacher Gift
- Bake Sale
- Classroom Easter Party
…So many ways to celebrate Christ’s resurrection and possibly open the door to a conversation to share the Good News with others.

This is ultra easy hack for a Christ-centered Easter dessert - free printable cupcake toppers! Comes in 3 different colors with 3 different sayings: He is Risen Indeed, Christ the Lord is Risen Today, and Hallelujah, Jesus is Alive. Literally, put them on top of any individual dessert and call it done! Can be used as gift tags and sticker labels for treats you're gifting as well! I love this idea for something simple but looks amazing! A little fancy piping on the top of a cupcake with an easy pretzel cross makes a very meaningful treat. These chocolate-covered Oreos are a simple treat to make that shares the true meaning of Easter! Add crosses to highlight Jesus' resurrections or flowers to emphasize rebirth and new life! These are a very sweet and simple Easter cross cookie idea that you can definitely get the kids involved in! Lots of easy decorating techniques, and perfect to give out as small Easter gifts! This is a super impressive lamb cake for Easter that's made with a 3-D cake mold! Entirely worth the effort for this kind of magnificent result. Pascha is an Eastern European sweet bread that is used to break a Lenten fast. It symbolizes Christ as the bread of life. What a special idea to introduce to your family. These light merengue cookies represent the Easter story through each step of the process and ingredients. The end result represent the empty tomb on Easter morning. Love it! For these delicious buns, each bite shows an empty center, representing an empty tomb. I'm sure this is a food tradition you'll come back to each year! Similar to the recipe above, this version is nut free and may be a better option for kids with a pickier palette! The cross is an iconic symbol of the resurrection and Jesus' sacrifice - this dipped Oreo version is a simple but powerful statement which can be easily customized in colors of your choice. I love this idea for a cupcake - the empty tomb symbolized by a donut and marshmallow! The kids will be sugared up, but they will absolutely not be complaining about it! Oh my goodness, those faces! I love that this is a simple project but so fun. If you like the idea of a lamb-themed Easter treat, try these prezels! They look very complex but are actually quite simple to make! Adorable! If you like the idea of pretzels and the cross theme as well, these chocolate dipped crosses made of pretzels look gorgeous. How pretty are these? The stained glass is made from Jolly Ranchers, and I just love the result! Hot cross buns are an Easter staple that symbolize the cross of Jesus. This cinnamon roll version with icing is easy and delicious! This is another hot cross buns recipe that is ideal if you have some kiddos with allergies or who need gluten free snacks! And of course, you see the shape of the cross. Here's another idea using a donut/cookie combo as a tomb, but on top of a pudding cup! Super easy for a Sunday School Easter treat! Fruit is always a delicious and healthy treat, but this version in the shape of cross is just spectacular for Easter. This is such a fantastic idea for kids! I love that you can create these bags and share them at school or church, while tell the story of Jesus' death and resurrection! Free printable! I love this idea if you are wanting to gift an Easter treat or pass out at school or sell at a bake sale! This topper is editable so you can really personalize it and make it special! A Bible is perfect any time of year, but I especially love it for an Easter themed snack!
