Easter’s a time for fresh starts, family get-togethers and (fingers crossed) a little sunshine. Of course, it also means sweet treats to share with your favourite people!

Whether you’re dreaming up a fancy afternoon tea, pulling together a big family feast or simply planning to chill with a long, lazy brunch, one thing’s for sure: homemade desserts make Easter feel extra special.

But Easter treats don’t have to stop at hot cross buns, chocolate eggs or simnel cake. We’ve rounded up five delicious recipes that take full advantage of Carnation Condensed Milk, which is guaranteed to give your Easter bakes a delicious upgrade!

Our top five must-try Easter desserts featuring condensed milk

Not that you need one, but Easter’s the perfect excuse to get creative in the kitchen, so here are five of our favourite recipes, which are guaranteed to put a spring in your step:

1. Caramel celebration pavlova

Grab just a few simple ingredients, and you’re halfway to making the ultimate Easter centrepiece that’ll have everyone talking. Imagine pillowy meringues piled high with caramel whipped cream and then scattered with juicy berries and all your favourite Easter chocolates. After a final drizzle of caramel, you’ve got a dessert that’s easy to prepare and guaranteed to wow every guest!

2. Dark chocolate Easter fudge

Ready to treat yourself this Easter? With just three ingredients - dark chocolate, Carnation Condensed Milk and Milkybar white chocolate mini eggs - you can rustle up this super-easy Easter fudge in no time. We love using white chocolate eggs for a pop of colour, but feel free to get creative! It’s rich, chocolatey and perfect for sharing with loved ones.

3. Easter lamb biscuits

Get ready for some baa-rilliant fun with these adorable Easter lamb biscuits! All you need are a few baking basics, some zingy lime and a sprinkle of imagination for decorating them. Bring out your inner child as you add coconut wool, chocolate button faces and edible eyes. The result? Tasty, sweet and seriously cute biscuits that are almost too good to eat!

4. Hot cross bun cheesecake

Hot cross buns anyone? This year, skip the oven and whip up our hot cross bun no-bake cheesecake instead. With a buttery fruit biscuit base, creamy cinnamon-spiced cheesecake filling and a generous swirl of marmalade, it’s Easter in every bite. You’ll only need a handful of ingredients, but the flavour and decoration make this treat a real showstopper. Who says cheesecake can’t steal the spotlight?

5. Disappearing Easter bunny cupcakes

Baking these cupcakes is as enjoyable as eating one! All you need is some flour, cocoa, a splash of Carnation Condensed Milk and a hint of vanilla. With their fluffy, chocolatey sponge, creamy vanilla icing and playful toppings (think sugar carrots and vibrant green icing!), these treats are perfect for sharing. Easy to bake and fun to decorate, what’s not to love about homemade cupcakes?

Fun flavour twists for Easter

Want your Easter bakes to turn out just right? Here are some easy (and fun!) tips to help you nail them every time:

For no-bake treats, let them chill in the fridge long enough to set fully. We know it can be hard to wait, but it’s so worth it!
Most condensed milk desserts love a nap in the fridge. Simply pop them in an airtight container, and they’ll stay fresh and scrumptious for days.
Get creative with your bakes. Finish them with colourful sprinkles, edible flowers or a swirl of icing for that extra Easter wow factor.
Don’t be afraid to play with flavours. Try putting orange zest in your chocolate nests or swirl raspberry sauce through a cheesecake to make your Easter bakes uniquely yours!
