Easter Recipes

 

Italian Easter Pie, Resurrection Cookies, Peanut Butter Eggs, and more
Recipes We Traditionally Use At Easter Time
=======================

Pizza Gaina - Italian Easter Pie

An Italian dish, this is also known as Pizza Rustica. There are dozens of variations of the recipe, and I make it a little differently every time.   They are most commonly filled  with ham, salami, prosciutto, ricotta, mozzarella, and Romano cheeses.. Hard boiled eggs are frequently  used as well.

Resurrection Cookies - 

This is a memorable way to teach the Easter story  - through a recipe!  Each step of this meringue cookie recipe includes scripture, that is illustrated with the steps of the recipe.  This is an old recipe - adapt the language and scriptures based on the ages and maturity level of the children helping.

Peanut Butter Eggs

Our daughter made a lot of money each spring, selling these, while in high school.  She bought herself a new laptop one year with her profits.

Vintage Coconut Cake Recipe

From my husbands grandmothers cookbook - this is a depression era recipe.
Note that the cake includes no coconut, so my best guess is that is gets iced with a coconut icing.  I've added a recipe for the icing.
