Ingredients
Base Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Topping Ideas:
- Sliced kiwi
- Sliced strawberries
- Blueberries
- Banana slices
- Grapes, halved
- Granola (for texture)
- Shredded coconut (dyed with natural food coloring for Easter egg designs)
- Mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs
Optional Tools:

Instructions
-
Prepare the Yogurt Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and evenly mixed. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
-
Shape the Bases: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use an Easter egg-shaped cookie cutter or freehand to create egg-shaped “cookies.” Spoon the yogurt mixture into the cutter or shape it directly on the parchment paper. Spread it evenly to form a flat base about 1/4-inch thick. Repeat to make as many cookies as desired.
-
Chill the Bases: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, or until the yogurt bases are firm but not completely frozen.
-
Decorate the Cookies: Once the yogurt bases are firm, remove them from the freezer. Top each “cookie” with your choice of sliced fruits, granola, shredded coconut, or other toppings to create colorful Easter egg designs. Get creative and have fun with patterns and textures!
-
Set the Cookies: Return the decorated cookies to the freezer for another 10-15 minutes to set the toppings.
-
Serve and Store: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the freezer and thaw slightly before serving.
