How to Make Frozen Dinosaur Eggs

Ready to dive in? Making your Frozen Dinosaur Eggs is a breeze. Just follow these simple steps:

Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt and fruit juice. If you want added sweetness, mix in honey to taste.
Layer the Ingredients:
- Start by spooning a layer of yogurt mixture into the bottom of each dinosaur-shaped mold.
- Next, add a layer of sliced banana and mixed berries on top of the yogurt.
- Add a sprinkle of granola over the fruit layer for crunch.
- Repeat the layers until the molds are filled, finishing with a yogurt layer on top.
Freeze: Place the filled molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
Remove from Molds: Once frozen, carefully remove the dinosaur eggs from the molds. You may need to run warm water over the outside of the molds to help release them.
