Ingredients

• 2 cups yogurt (plain or flavored) – Yogurt is the base and provides a creamy texture.
• 1 cup fruit puree (banana, berry, or your choice) – Choose your favorite fruits for a burst of flavor.
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (optional) – Sweeten it up if you like, but it’s delicious without it too!

• Dinosaur-shaped silicone molds – These are a must for the fun factor!

How to Make Frozen Dinosaur Eggs

Let’s dive right into the fun of making these delicious treats!

1. Prepare the Fruit Puree: If you’re using whole fruit, blend your choice of fruit (like bananas or berries) until smooth. You can leave it slightly chunky if you prefer some texture.
2. Mix Yogurt and Sweetener: In a large bowl, combine the yogurt with honey or maple syrup if you want added sweetness. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
3. Layer the Ingredients: Spoon a layer of yogurt into the bottom of each dinosaur-shaped mold. Follow with a layer of fruit puree, and then sprinkle some granola on top. Repeat these layers until the molds are full, finishing with a layer of yogurt.
4. Freeze: Place the filled molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
5. Unmold and Serve: Once frozen, carefully remove the dinosaur eggs from the molds. You may need to run warm water over the outside of the molds for easier removal.
6. Enjoy: Serve immediately as a fun and nutritious snack!

Substitutions & Additions

Feel free to get creative! You can substitute the yogurt for a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt. For the fruit puree, try mixing different fruits for a unique flavor, or even add a splash of vanilla extract for extra depth. Some people even like to add a bit of spinach for a hidden veggie boost!

Tips for Success

• Be careful not to overfill the molds; leave a little space at the top for expansion as they freeze.
• If you’re using fresh berries, consider mashing them slightly before layering for a more even distribution.
• These can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer for a fun surprise later!

How to Store Frozen Dinosaur Eggs

Once you’ve made your Frozen Dinosaur Eggs, store them in an airtight container in the freezer. They can last for about a month, but trust me, they won’t last that long once everyone gets a taste!

FAQs

• Can I use frozen fruit? Absolutely! Just thaw it slightly before blending.
• What if I don’t have dinosaur molds? Any silicone mold should work; just have fun with the shapes!
