Easter dessert tables are not complete without at least one cheesecake! From the crust to the creamy center to the topping, there are so many ways to make this classic favorite something every bunny will love.
But, remember there are other cheese desserts you can consider making besides a cheesecake. Instead of a cheese cake why not create a dessert cheese plate customized with colors of spring.
Whatever you decide, the DessertMenus team would like to wish you a Happy Easter!

I can only imagine how awesome this tastes with the vanilla wafer cookie crust and creamy mix of lemons and cream cheese. This cheesecake will be a standout on that crowded Easter table.

3. Blueberry Goat Cheese Cheesecake Bars
The flavor factor on this no-bake cheesecake recipe is a bit different. A salty pretzel crust brings a new element to a traditional cheesecake recipe. But, add in goat cheese as a filling and you have something even the Easter Bunny will drool over. The salt from those pretzels with the sweet blueberries and tangy cheese will take you to heaven.

A recipe from Danis Cookings that is also on our list of chocolate caramel dessert ideas! If Snicker bars are your thing, this cake will deliver.

15. Cottage Cheese Cheesecake
This cottage cheese cheesecake from Chocolates and Chai is a healthier dessert option than a traditional cheesecake. The idea of cottage cheese in a cheesecake may not sound delicious, but you might be surprised how good it is. It is basically a regular cheesecake, but you replace the cream cheese with cottage cheese. The lower fat and higher amount of protein give it a health boost! Top it with your favorites for a new kind of taste sensation.
