No one will deny that Easter is one of the sweetest holidays of the year. Between the chocolate bunnies, the baskets brimming with Easter candy, and all those Easter desserts to serve for brunch, you might be wondering if there's such a thing as too many sweets. But honestly, no bunny will ever turn down another Easter treat! There's always room for more, especially when it's one of these Easter pies.

If you think about it, Easter is the perfect time for the best pie recipes. It's right at the beginning of spring, so citrus is still in season and you can enjoy all those lemon desserts at their peak. If you're lucky and the weather is warming up, you can make spring desserts like fruit pies and rhubarb recipes. Or if it's still chilly, there's all those coconut desserts and chocolate desserts that are right for any time of year and yet perfectly timely for the holiday.

If you're hosting a crowd, pull out a giant slab pie. No room in the oven? Try a no-bake recipe. And if you're unsure who likes what, make a classic chess or buttermilk pie that will please every palate. These Easter pie recipes are sure to be a hit—and then you'll wonder why you ever questioned yourself in the first place. Of course you should have a pie (or two or three!) for a sweet end to Easter dinner. So hop to it!

Despite its name, no possums are involved—just decadent Southern charm! That title is actually a nod to the idea of "playing possum," as the dessert hides delicious layers of lightly sweetened cream cheese and rich, silky chocolate pudding.
