Fun & Festive Popsicle Easter Dessert Ideas
1. Easter Egg Pops
We’re starting with an Easter classic: the Easter egg! For this recipe, simply melt your favorite Popsicle flavor, pour the liquid into egg-shaped molds, add sticks, and freeze overnight. Whichever flavor you choose (whether it’s one of our classics or something zingier like the Jolly Rancher Sours Ice Pops), these mini desserts will add a colorful and refreshing touch to your Easter spread.
2. Bunny-Themed Treats
Bring the Easter spirit to life with some adorable bunny-themed desserts. To create these, simply dip your Fudgsicles in white chocolate and top with sprinkles. You can also decorate with mini marshmallows or candy eyes to create cute bunny faces.
These treats aren’t just delicious — they’re also a fun, hand-on activity that kids can get involved in too.
3. Sundae Bar
Set up a DIY sundae station that the whole family can enjoy. Start with a base of fruit-flavored ice pops, like the Orange, Cherry & Grape Ice Pops or the Sugar Free Tropicals Ice Pops, then top with lots of fresh fruit, Easter egg pieces, chocolate sprinkles, and more. You can even add a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch.
4. Popsicle Floats
For a bubbly twist on a classic treat, try making a delightful Easter dessert float. Start by adding ¼ cup of milk and 1 cup of lemon-lime soda (or ginger ale) to each glass. Then, drop your Ice Pop in—choose a fruity flavor of your choice, but we’re going with orange. Finally, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream (we love Breyers Homemade Vanilla for this recipe) to make your float extra creamy.
5. Fudgesicle Hot Chocolate
If Easter falls on a chilly spring day, cozy up with a rich and chocolatey Fudgsicle hot chocolate. Just heat some milk in a pan, add your Fudgesicle, and let it melt. You can even stir in some extra chocolate for more sweetness. Remove the stick and pour the chocolate mix in a glass, then top it with whipped cream.
Tips for Serving & Decorating Your Easter Desserts
Get Creative with Your Presentation
Presenting your Popsicle Easter desserts can be just as fun as making them. Try arranging your Easter Egg Pops on a platter or serving them in mini baskets. For bunny-themed desserts, use pastel-colored napkins.
Turn Them into Party Favors
These desserts also make the cutest party favors! Dress up your egg-shaped or bunny-themed frozen desserts with colorful ribbons to turn them into sweet, edible gifts. Or, take it a step further and create Easter dessert kits with egg-shaped molds and classic Ice Pops or Fudgesicles, so your guests can recreate these fun frozen treats at home.
Make Ahead and Store
One of the best parts about these Popsicle Easter treats is that you can prepare them ahead of time. Most of these desserts can be frozen and stored for a few days, making them perfect for preparing in advance, so you can enjoy the Easter festivities to the fullest.
