Mother’s Day is the perfect time to show your mum just how much you love and appreciate her. While flowers and cards are always lovely, a homemade gift basket with sweet treats adds a special touch. If you’re not a baking expert, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. Here are 5 easy dessert ideas that are simple to make and perfect to include in your Mother’s Day gift basket.
1. Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
Chocolate-covered strawberries are a classic treat. All you need are fresh strawberries and some melted chocolate. Dip the strawberries in the chocolate and let them cool on a tray. You can also drizzle some white chocolate on top to make them look even fancier. They’re sweet, simple, and look beautiful in a gift box.
2. No-Bake Oreo Truffles
These truffles are delicious and require no baking at all. Crush some Oreo biscuits and mix them with cream cheese. Roll the mixture into small balls and dip them in melted chocolate. Once the chocolate hardens, they’re ready to go into your gift basket. You can also sprinkle a bit of crushed Oreo on top for decoration.
3. Mini Lemon Drizzle Cakes
Mini lemon drizzle cakes are light, zesty, and always a hit. You can make a simple sponge cake with lemon zest and juice, then top it with a lemon glaze. Bake the cakes in cupcake cases to make them gift-sized. They add a lovely citrusy freshness to your basket and look very elegant too.
4. Chocolate Fudge Squares
Fudge is one of the easiest desserts to make. Simply melt chocolate, condensed milk, and a bit of butter in a pan, pour it into a tray, and let it set. Once firm, cut into small squares. You can add nuts, sprinkles, or even sea salt on top depending on your mum’s taste. Wrap them in paper or pop them into a cute jar.
