This weekend is Easter which means lots of candy, eggs, and fun! One of our favorite Easter treats is some homemade ice cream Easter eggs. These colorful treats are festive and fairly simple. Follow the recipe below to make your very own ice cream eggs this Easter Sunday!

Supplies

  • Vanilla ice cream (or ice cream of your choice)
  • Egg molds
  • Bamboo skewers (popsicle sticks work too)
  • Candy pieces or sprinkles
  • Chocolate (optional)

Directions

  1. Spoon softened vanilla ice cream into the both sides of the egg molds, flattening the tops with the back of the spoon.
  2. Press together both sides of the egg molds together.
  3. Take the bamboo skewers or sticks and push them through the two egg molds so that they are stick in the eggs like lollipops.
  4. Place the molds with skewers in the freezer and let sit for two hours.
  5. Remove molds from freezer and place molds in warm water for easy removal.
  6. Pour sprinkles or crushed candy pieces into a bowl to roll eggs until they are covered, then serve.
  7. We liked to cover the eggs in chocolate and candy pieces. If you’d like to try this twist on the recipe, you’ll need to melt your chocolate and pour it into another bowl.
  8. First, dip the eggs in the chocolate and roll it in the candy pieces. You’ll need to freeze these for at least an hour and then serve!

We don’t recommend using these eggs in your Easter egg hunt because who wants melted ice cream? However we definitely recommend treating yourself or the kiddos to one of these delicious eggs after a long, rewarding day of egg hunting!
