Easter Dessert

[ugadog99]

I'm trying to finalize my Easter dinner plans. I want something easy and quick for dessert. I was thinking something lemony or fruity. Any ideas?

Lemon bars or a fruit salad?

I was thinking some kind of lemon pie, chilled lemon something....Just drawing a blank as to what to do.

This looks good: lemon-raspberry pie

I haven't it tried it myself though.

I would defintly say lemon bars! Or I personally love lemon pie without the meringue!

This is not exactly quick but it sure is good. It is ginger-lime coconut cake with marshmellow frosting. THe ginger isnt a main flavor and I sub. lemon for lime in the curd filling.

If you use a regular cake mix then it would be faster. The marshmellow cream is worth making it is very good.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought of grain pie, but it is not quick and not fruity. Apple or peach crisp is always good, but not exactly quick either.

I'll be making a key lime pie & chocolate brown sugar brownies.

Yes, it sure does...let us know how it turns out if you make it...wish I had seen it before i had everyone over today. I made a pineapple sour cream pie, which was very good, but that lemon raspberry pies looks scrumptious!

Twigs what is a grain pie?

Grain pie is an Italian dessert usually seved on Easter. It is made with ricotta cheese, eggs, sugar and a wheat grain that is cooked prior and is like soft kernals. It is sweet and really good. If you would like the recipe let me know and I will post it.

edited to add: The first time I had it was at work and 2 of the ladies I worked with brought it in at Easter time. I thought it was really weird and didn't think I would like it but I love it!
