Walker’s Spring Flower Bouquet

Elevate your Easter gathering with @jessiejanedaye enchanting creation  Walker’s Spring Flower Bouquet (image shown at top of post).

An easy no-bake recipe, you’ll only need a few basic ingredients to make these adorable treats. It’s satisfyingly sweet, and thanks to its bright chocolate-petal accents, almost too pretty to eat…almost.

Make these with the family and serve them as an accent for your dessert board, they will delight the eye as much as the taste buds!

Strawberry Pie

Fruit lovers, don’t miss a chance to try Walker’s Strawberry Pie. It starts with an all-butter shortbread crust, with a touch of extra butter and sugar to sweeten and bind the crust.

One of the best things about this strawberry pie is that it can also be made as a no-bake delight (the crust can be baked if you so choose but it’s also fine just chilled) which makes this a perfectly simple Easter dessert.

The irresistible filling to the crust combines bloomed gelatin with fresh strawberries, egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to deliver a perfectly balanced burst of sweetness and tanginess.

Top with whipped cream, sliced strawberries, and some extra Walker’s Shortbread rounds, then watch your loved ones scramble for seconds - if there are any left!

Rocky Road Easter Nests

What else quite says “Easter dessert” like Easter Nests? They’re simple to make and a true delight.

Rocky Road Easter Nests are a playful, no-bake treat that brings together all the best parts of Easter and classic rocky road. Made with crushed Walker’s Shortbread, melted chocolate, mini marshmallows, and colorful candy eggs, these sweet little nests are both fun to make and impossible to resist. They’re a festive centerpiece that’s as adorable as it is delicious—a perfect holiday activity and dessert rolled into one!

Dessert Parfait Board

The Walker’s Dessert Parfait Board is a great Easter dessert because it allows your guests to indulge their own personal preferences to sample different flavors - all underpinned by Walker’s all-butter Walker’s Shortbread Fingers, Mini Fingers, and Mini Rounds.

This eye-catching dessert board is as easy to assemble as it is irresistible! Simply lay out a tempting selection of Walker’s Shortbread and surround it with bowls of creamy vanilla and cheesecake puddings, spiced apple and pumpkin pie fillings, and rich caramel and chocolate sauces for drizzling. Guests will love mixing and matching to create their own dreamy parfaits. These are just our favorite combinations—feel free to get creative and add your own sweet spin!

Alternatively, you could assemble the parfaits and serve them; start with a layer of crumbled Walker’s Shortbread cookies at the bottom, layer your choice of fillings, then top with chocolate or butterscotch chips before drizzling some caramel or chocolate sauce to complete the whole dish. Trust us, your guests will love them!

No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Parfait

Lastly, if you’re looking for another no-bake option, the Walker’s No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Parfait is a great choice.

They’re also easy to make. Start with some cream cheese, heavy cream, and sugar, and mix until smooth. Stir in some vanilla extract, beat, then whip until creamy.

Next, stir in some chocolate chips, crush some Walker’s Mini Shortbread Chocolate Chip Cookies, place a layer down in a cup, followed by some of the cream mixture, and then alternate this layering a few times.

Refrigerate till ready to serve, then enjoy!
