Oreo Ice Cream Cake is easy, delicious, and so refreshing on a warm spring day. Plus, this dessert is easy to make several days in advance, just take it out of the freezer and let it thaw slightly 10-15 minutes before serving.

14. No-bake Oreo pie

Don’t want to turn on the oven? This no-bake pie is what you need. This dessert is ready in just 15 minutes (you’ll probably eat it all in less than 5 minutes!).

15. Chocolate torte

16. Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Pie

If you love fruit but also need a little chocolate, this is the perfect dessert for you. Rich cheesecake studded with fresh (or frozen) raspberries and topped with a delicious chocolate ganache, it’s a luxurious treat any time of the year. I also love making this easy spring dessert for a crowd.

17. Vinegar pie

Don’t be fooled by the name. This pie is delicious, light, refreshing, and very frugally made.

Other spring desserts

18. Mason jar ice cream

If you want dessert at the end, take out the vanilla ice cream and top it with fresh berries or a little berry jam.

However, if you have a little more time or are looking for something fun to do with the kids, try making your own ice cream in a mason jar. It’s super easy, fun, and tastes great.

19. Cinnamon applesauce

For a light and refreshing dessert, try our chunky cinnamon applesauce. You can also top it with homemade whipped cream.

20. Honey truffles

Truffles are the perfect bite-sized snack to satisfy your sweet tooth after a meal. It’s also a great energy booster for quick snacks throughout the day.

These truffles are sweetened with just a touch of honey and rolled in coconut to keep your fingers from getting too dirty.

21. Peach and cream ginger biscuits

Head to your local orchard or grocery store and make this recipe while fresh peaches are ripe. Not only are these biscuits so delicious and the peaches are perfectly sweet, but the recipe is also gluten-free.

22. White Chocolate Bark

This white chocolate bark is so spring-celebratory (you can even completely change the color of the sprinkles to match the season). The only caveat is to be very careful once they start eating the bark…it’s almost impossible to stop.
