When it comes to Easter, whether you’re having brunch, lunch, or dinner, it’s the desserts that steal the show. I’m here to assure you that you can create a delicious display of gluten free Easter desserts. I promise that nobody will know they are gluten free – unless you want to tell them, of course.

Gluten Free Strawberry Rhubarb Galettes
Rustic, charming, and just messy enough to prove they’re homemade—these gluten-free strawberry rhubarb galettes are spring in dessert form. Tangy rhubarb meets sweet strawberries in a flaky, golden crust (yes, gluten-free and fabulous). Easier than pie, prettier than a tart, and basically begging for a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The Best Recipe for Gluten Free Carrot Cake
You’ll love this recipe because it’s gorgeous (yet easy), can be made in one bowl, and has tons of amazing flavor. I add a lot of spices to my carrot cakes, and it makes your kitchen smell AMAZING when it’s baking in the oven. Another great thing about this gluten free cake recipe is that it can be made a day ahead. In fact, I think it tastes even better that way!

Gluten-Free Lemon Lavender Mini Tarts
These gluten free lemon lavender tarts are sweet and petite, and packed with zesty lemon flavor. Homemade lemon curd comes together in a snap and is poured into the most buttery shortbread crust. Top them with fruit, or toasted meringue. Either way, this two-bite treats are a winner!

A Stunning Gluten Free Lemon Cake with Hibiscus Frosting
I’m here to tell you that you (yes you!) can make a stunning Gluten Free Lemon Cake with Hibiscus Rose Buttercream. This gorgeous confection is dense and moist like a pound cake, but has a light crumb thanks to the addition of sour cream. The rosy pink frosting gets both color and flavor from hibiscus flowers in the form of tea, which is more widely available than the flowers themselves. This is the perfect gluten free cake for Easter or Mother’s Day!

These delicious Individual Strawberry Crisps from my friend Meg at This Mess is Ours are toasty and golden, lemony and bright, tart and sweet – all at the same time!
