10 x Mothers Day dessert recipes

The most delicious mothers day dessert recipes. For that special one day in the year when we celebrate all things mother! With something sweet!.

Ah that special day to celebrate all Mothers; Mothers Day. We used to joke and tell my mum that it was really Mothers day every day but she never fell for it. Now that she is no longer here, I have no reason to celebrate Mothers Day but I can always find a good excuse to make something delicious.

So if you’re celebrating Mothers Day, I have just the collection of delicious sweets for you. My favorite Mothers Day Dessert recipes!

Mothers day desserts

Madeleines

To start of the list of Mothers Day desserts I have my favorite cookie; the French Madeleines. Absolutely perfect for Mothers Day. Now if you ask me what really makes it a Mothers Day dessert? I can’t really tell you. I guess it has to do with something that is delicious, sweet and would be a real treat. Of course every mother is different so pick whichever you think would be best for your mum!
