To please mom on Mother’s Day, we’re rolling up our sleeves to thank her with some sweet treats. We want to impress her, so we’ve put together some dazzling desserts that are super easy to prepare and serve on this special day.

1. Almond-orange cake with citrus garnish

   Thanks to a mixture of flour and almond powder, the dough of this cake is very fluffy. Flavoured delicately with orange zest, the cake is garnished with Greek vanilla yogurt, sliced almonds and citrus supremes for a colourful pop of pink and orange.

5. Warm apple and dulce de leche phyllo parcels

   While these little parcels of phyllo dough are very simple to prepare, they never fail to impress. Simply caramelize apples and place them on a square of phyllo dough with almonds, chocolate chips and orange zest. The phyllo dough is then folded up to form small, sweet flavour bombs.

6. Lemon squares

   Offer little squares of happiness to mom with this easy dessert. The nut crust is topped with a homemade pudding made from egg yolks, sugar and fresh lemon juice. Remember to make these squares in advance, though, because it takes a minimum of 4 hours of refrigeration for the pudding to set.
