What Should I eat on the Easter Weekend?

You can’t talk about Easter without mentioning the traditional foods that accompany it. There are specific foods that are only eaten at this time of the year: Easter eggs and hot cross buns are just two of the desserts enjoyed on Easter. But nothing’s binding you to a traditional Easter meal, or even dessert for that matter. So, what’s a curious diner to do come Easter? If you can’t bear the thought of eating another hot cross bun this Easter, here are five sweet alternatives to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ice Cream Sticks

If you’ve been looking for another excuse to indulge in ice cream, look no further than Easter weekend. Most people are familiar with the cravings that come over you when you set your eyes on an ice cream stick. The sugary, frozen treat is near irresistible. But here’s the gag: There’s absolutely no reason to relegate ice cream sticks to a scorching summer day. Give the hot cross buns a break and order a bundle of Milky Lane NiceCream Stix this Easter.

Ice Cream Cake

Ice cream cake is not quite ice cream, but it’s not exactly a cake either. At the risk of sounding cliché, it’s the best of both worlds. With this Easter bringing the much-needed gift of a long weekend, it’s the perfect time to spoil yourself with something sweet. You could go the conventional route and choose between a cake or ice cream, but why choose when you can have both at one go?

Waffles

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? If we’re honest, it’s also a strong contender for the most boring. A plate of bacon and eggs, a slice of toast, and a glass of lukewarm orange juice is no way to celebrate a three-day holiday. If you’re not keen on waiting for post-dinner dessert before you satisfy your sweet tooth, get your fill first thing in the morning. A plate of decadent waffles should be enough to set the tone for a sweet Easter. And if one plate it isn’t enough, you can always order seconds!

Milkshake

All this focus on food has surely worked up your appetite. But what about something sweet to quench your thirst? Enter the milkshake. Much like the ice cream, milkshakes are also a 2-in-1 dessert. They’re classified as a drink, but everyone knows that the last bit of your milkshake is scooped up with a spoon or a straw. The Oxford English Dictionary defines a milkshake as: ‘A drink made of milk, and usually ice cream, and a flavour such as fruit or chocolate, mixed together until it is smooth’. They probably knew that they’d have a hard time convincing a linguist to define it as happiness in a cup.

Easter weekend is the kind of holiday that deserves a showstopper of a dessert. Whatever you decide to serve as the main meal, make sure the dessert is something worth looking forward to.
