Ingredients
Scale
Frosting
- 12 oz. Vanilla frosting
Toppings
- 2 Tablespoons pastel sprinkles or nonpareils
- 25 chocolate covered almonds
- 1/4 cup pastel blend M&M’s
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Cut a square piece of parchment paper to fit inside your serving board. Using a spreader or butter knife, spread the vanilla frosting into an egg shape on the parchment paper, ensuring the shape covers about three-quarters of the parchment surface.
- Add sprinkles: Sprinkle the light pastel sprinkles or nonpareils on both the top and bottom sections of the egg-shaped frosting to add texture and color contrast.
- Outline with almonds: Carefully outline the entire edge of the frosting egg with the chocolate-covered almonds, placing them close together so they touch, creating a neat border.
- Create zigzag lines: Choose two colors of pastel M&M’s and arrange them in a zigzag line approximately 1.5 inches from the top of the egg. Repeat this zigzag pattern near the bottom of the egg with the same or different colors for added visual interest.
- Fill remaining spaces: Fill the spaces at the top and bottom of the egg with additional pastel sprinkles or nonpareils. Then, use colored M&M’s to fill the center area of the egg, completing the decorative look.
Notes
- This board is no-cook, making it a quick and easy dessert option.
- Use a clean butter knife or offset spatula for smooth frosting spreading.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite pastel candies or sprinkles based on availability.
- Best served immediately, but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours covered tightly to maintain freshness.
