Rainbow Unicorn Toast Ingredients

A complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

Bread: Use thick-cut bread because it’s the sturdiest. You can also use a medium-cut loaf or even slice your own.
Cream cheese: Remember to take it out of the refrigerator about half an hour before making rainbow toast. This is because cream cheese spreads easier when it is at room temperature. Full-fat delivers the richest flavor.
Food coloring: Choose food coloring gels or dyes in any four pastel shades you prefer. You can use any colors you want and you don’t have to use pastel shades for the sprinkles and cream cheese.
Sprinkles: To decorate the dish. Any colors will work.

Slices of white bread and a block of cream cheese await transformation into unicorn toast, with colorful sprinkles and four bottles of food coloring. This delightful breakfast or snack for kids sits ready on a hexagonal tiled surface, promising a burst of fun and flavor.

Assemble: Spread one cream cheese mixture at a time over the toast and then add the sprinkles on top.

Substitutions and Variations

Flavor the cream cheese: If you want to, you can add another flavor to the cream cheese such as vanilla extract for example. Almond extract or orange extract would also be good.
Sprinkles: These come in various shapes, sizes and colors and there are certainly plenty of different kinds to choose from. The pastel sprinkle shades do look especially pretty for Easter though.

How to Store Unicorn Toast with Sprinkles

Top Tips

Get the color right: If you want a bolder shade, add more food coloring and mix again. Bear in mind it’s easier to add more colur if needed than to add too much and end up with a shade that’s too dark.
Serve it immediately: Easter rainbow unicorn toast is best served as soon as it’s made while it’s still hot.
Make it for other occasions: Try pink and red for a Valentine’s Day take on this breakfast or snack for kids. Green would be great for St Patrick’s Day. And then you have red and green for Christmas, orange and black for Halloween, or any other variations you can come up with.

Sprinkles and Cream Cheese Toast FAQs

Can you make this Easter treat ahead?

Well you could, but the toast will get a bit soggy so it’s best to serve these as soon as they’re ready. Looking for something you can prepare in advance? Try these Easter sugar cookies with sprinkles.

What type of cream cheese is best for rainbow toast?

Since this is a sweet recipe, you probably want to avoid savory kinds like garlic and herb! However, you can use fruit flavored cream cheese or the plain kind. Whipped cream cheese is good too if you like that light, fluffy consistency.

How can I make these healthier?

Easter rainbow unicorn toast is easy to tweak. If you like, you can swap the sprinkles for slices of fresh fruit. Banana, apple, peach, raisins, and strawberries are just some options. You can also use wholegrain bread instead of white or reduced-fat cream cheese.
