20 Vibrant Easter Desserts With Frozen Fruit
Frozen fruit is the secret ingredient in these gorgeous spring-ready desserts. From pretty pies (like this Peach Blueberry Pie and this Strawberry-Rhubarb Pretzel Pie) to colorful crumbles (this single-serving Fruit Crumble For One is incredibly simple), we have the frozen fruit desserts to please everyone at your Easter table.
Peach Blueberry Pie
Two of summer's best crops unite to form a classic dessert you'll want to bring to every cookout. Our Peach Blueberry Pie is sweet and fruity with a flaky crust. Using parchment paper in the oven will help catch any drippage. Fruit pies are something that should be made a day ahead, and the longer this cools, the lower your chances of an overly juicy pie.

Blueberry Scones
When we set out to create the best basic blueberry scone recipe, we knew it needed to be buttery and tender, but not cakey or overtly sweet—dense for sure, but not dry. These deliver on every front. While these blueberry scones are divine as-is, you can customize the recipe with whatever flavor add-ins you like.

Raspberry Crumble Bars
Gooey and crumbly bars are the perfect snack. To give these dessert bars an extra-thick layer of fruit, we added berries to the mixture. Fresh or frozen berries will work equally fine in this recipe. For the neatest squares, cool the bars completely before cutting—or refrigerate up to two hours.

Cranberry-Apple Tartlets
Cranberry-Apple Tartlets Recipe
Surprise your guests with these cute and delicious tartlets. Fresh or frozen cranberries can be used to make the tangy filling. If using frozen berries, don't defrost them. Frozen cranberries act more like fresh cranberries than thawed ones do; the skins burst at a similar rate and they are less juicy.

Rhubarb Cake
Our Rhubarb Cake is one sweet (but not too sweet) way to celebrate spring's seasonal bounty. Even though it's a cake, the texture is more reminiscent of a quick bread, such as banana bread, meaning it would be a great side dish for breakfast or fantastic if transformed into muffins.
