20 Best Easter Recipes and Cocktails for Adults!

Easter is a time for bunnies, eggs, and chocolates — lots of chocolates.

Easter is an absolutely fun time for the kids, but after an entire day of egg hunts, games, and Pinterest-worthy crafts, it’s so nice to just kick back, relax, and enjoy something fit for an adult.

Yep, Easter is for adults also! We have here a list of recipes — appetisers, main courses, and desserts — that are perfect for adult consumption. Don’t worry; we didn’t forget the Easter cocktails!

1. Toblerone Cheesecake

I’ll warn you now they are not a frugal dessert to make they are strictly for special occasions only but they do taste a-maz-ing. It will seriously be the best thing you have ever put in your mouth.

2. Hot Cross Bun Bliss Balls

They taste just like a hot cross bun, all the spices and the hint of orange, but you feel a little less guilty for eating 4 of them!

3. Caramel Egg Stuffed Croissants

Who would have thought something this divine takes literally less than 20 minutes to make?

4. Raspberry Beer Cocktail

Because who said beer couldn’t be pretty?

5. Hot Chocolate Milkshakes

What better way to enjoy the night after a day of chasing children on Easter Egg highs? Don’t forget to add a nip of rum or brandy!

6. Carrot Mimosas

Carrot juice is fresh and delicious, so why not take it to the next level?

7. Speckled Egg Easter Mimosas

This drink is not only pretty but also delicious! Plus, it’s perfect for when you have a tonne of speckled eggs at home!

8. Hot Cross Bun Baileys Cocktail

Because it has two of my favourite things ever, Baileys and hot cross buns, I declare this as the best cocktail ever created by man.

9. Chilli Chocolate Easter Egg Pops

Don’t be afraid to mix it up with milk or even white chocolate, or some food colouring. We’ve seen some great variety from our readers, and we love it!

10. Cottontail Martini

This is certainly the most adorable martini I’ve seen in my lifetime!

11. Roasted Red Pepper and Baked Egg Galettes

This is the perfect brunch recipe, but no one’s stopping you from serving it during dinnertime.

12. Honey Glazed Carrots

These are a slightly adapted version of Julia Child’s French Glazed Carrots. They are lovely with casseroles or lamb shanks!

13. Sweet Chilli and Bacon Devilled Eggs

I just loooove curried devilled eggs so I came up with new combo just to mix it up a little!

14. Glazed Ham

Glazed ham is not just for Christmas. It’s also perfect for your dinners.

15. Frosted Carrot Cake Cupcakes

They’re a modern twist on the classic carrot cake, topped with a stunningly smooth cream cheese frosting. People will beg for these cupcakes once they’ve tried them, trust us on that.

16. Spinach and Pine Nut-Stuffed Leg of Lamb

If you’re looking for a new way to cook your leg of lamb, then you must check this recipe out!

17. Cadbury Egg Trifles

Oh my goodness, these look so delicious you wouldn’t want to share!

18. Cheesecake Eggs

You’re probably already tired of Easter eggs by nighttime, but these yummy Easter eggs are begging to differ.

19. Robin’s Egg No-Churn Ice Cream

Another use for your Easter candy — something you wouldn’t want the kids to know about.

20. Herbed Roasted Lamb Chops

These chops are simply divine. They’re full of wonderful flavours, and go perfect with some roasted vegetables, some mash, or a nice salad.

Enjoy!
