Easter is one of my favorite seasonal holidays to make adorable bunny treats with the kids! These puff pastry bunnies are an Easter dessert we return to each year due to their simplicity and sheer adorableness! My 6 year old baker @Dashakesthegreats made them here and we’re sharing the detailed recipe down below! If you’re on the hunt for a simple yet adorable addition to your Easter spread this year, try your hand at making puff pastry bunnies! These whimsical bunnies are not only delicious but also a fun kids baking project that might just become a new Easter tradition in your home.
Puff Pastry Bunnies – Ingredients
- 2 TBSP melted unsalted butter
- 1 box of puff pastry (2 sheets) we used Pepperidge Farms
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 TBSP cinnamon
- Cool Whip or whipped cream
- Pastel Easter sprinkles (or any festive sprinkle mix)
How to make puff pastry bunnies – cute Easter treat
- Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Butter step: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small pan or microwave.
- Puff pastry prep: Take your box of puff pastry and gently unfold the two sheets. It’s okay if they’re a bit stiff; they’ll loosen up as they thaw. You can leave them out of the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes if they are too stiff. Place one sheet on a lightly floured surface or between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll the sheet out a bit to thin out. Repeat with the other sheet.
- Cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.
- Brush butter: Brush melted butter over one sheet and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mix over evenly. Place the other sheet on top. Crimp the edge with a fork to seal.
- Cut the pastry: Use a pizza slicer or sharp knife to cut the pastry into slices about 1/2″ wide.
- Shape the bunnies: Grab the two ends and make a twist at the top and a second twist to make the ears. Place 2″ apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed up and golden brown.
- Whipped cream: Once baked, let your bunnies cool. Add a dollop of Cool Whip, whipped cream or frosting to each bunny to create a fluffy “tail.” Sprinkle some pastel Easter sprinkles over the tails.
Final Thoughts
These puff pastry bunnies make a charming treat to any Easter table and are a hit with both kids and adults. The combination of flaky pastry, warm cinnamon sugar, and cool, creamy topping is hard to resist! What we love is how simple they are to make and bake! Everyone just loves them and can’t resist grabbing one, especially with the cotton ball whipped cream!
