They’re thick, custardy, and the perfect light dessert when you had too much for dinner. 

3. Easter Jello Parfait

These Easter Jello parfaits capture the essence of colorful Easter baskets. 

They taste like a Creamsicle. It’s made with layers of light and creamy Jello-infused Cool Whip and sweetened condensed milk. 

What I love most about these parfaits is you can get creative with the toppings. 

Garnish each cup with whipped cream or sprinkles. Or make it even more colorful with candy eggs. Or Jelly Beans!

While the kids open their Easter baskets, the adults need some fun, too. So, grown-ups can celebrate the season with these tasty (and boozy) Jello shots. 

They incorporate vibrant Starburst Jello with vanilla vodka to create a fruity, creamy mini cocktail. It is almost too good. 

Seriously, be careful with these Jello shots! 

They’re so yummy that you may forget each serving packs a wallop of vodka. 

5. Rainbow Jello Easter Eggs

Step aside, Grandma. These Rainbow Jello Easter eggs are far from your grandma’s traditional Jello mold. 

Jello is light, refreshing, and fruity on its own. But it’s not a show-stopper. 

These rainbow Jello Easter eggs aim to change all that. 

They host a rainbow of colors in these dessert-sized eggs. And they are as fruity and delicious as they look. 

Plus, making them doesn’t require any advanced cooking skills.

Is it a Jello dessert or an art piece? Maybe it’s both!

These broken glass Jello squares will catch the eye of everyone at the dinner table. 

It features brightly colored, fruity Jello pieces suspended in sweetened condensed milk gelatin. The flavor is as out of this world as the dessert looks. Plus, the textures are so fun!

Who doesn’t love a good poke cake? It’s so simple to whip together and create a super moist cake with little effort. 

It pairs boxed white cake mix with strawberry, lime, lemon, and blue raspberry Jello. That’s it!

Poke holes in the top of the baked vanilla cake. Then, pour in your flavorful Jello and let it work its magic. 

It’s incredibly moist with a fruit punch. Garnish with whipped cream, and watch it disappear.

9. Easter Peeps Cupcakes

Love or hate them, there’s no denying that Peeps are 100 percent adorable. 

These Easter Peep cupcakes are creamy, fruity, and colorful. So much so that they demand an equally tasty topping: marshmallow Peeps.

Sometimes, the best recipes are the ones that use simple ingredients.

These delightfully sweet and tart Easter cookies incorporate orange Jello and simple cookie ingredients. You likely have most of them in your pantry already! 

They’re buttery and crumbly, with a subtle hint of orange flavor. They are over-the-top-tasty and far superior to Christmas sugar cookies. 

11. Chocolate Easter Bunny Jello Shots

You know how the inside of chocolate Easter bunnies are hollow? Hear me out. What if you filled those hollow bunnies with a Jello shot? 

These chocolate Easter bunnies are the perfect treat for the adults at the table. Grown-ups rarely get a visit from the Easter Bunny. So, you can be your own Boozy Bunny instead!

The chocolate outsides taste fantastic with the fruity Jello infused with vodka. 

It’s like a boozy, chocolate-covered strawberry inside an adorable Easter bunny. What’s not to love?
