Easy Pull Apart Sunflower Dessert Kids Can Make

Our house has a young cook that loves to create in the kitchen – as independently as possible.

So when I saw this Play with Your Food picture in the May 2014 issue of Everyday with Rachael Ray I was inspired to give my little chef the opportunity to create  a Sunflower Dessert on her own.

Here is what we used:

• Glass pie pan
• Cooking spray
• 2 Tubes of refrigerated biscuits
• Kitchen shears
• Ready made frosting
• Decorating sugar
• Yellow food coloring
• Mini chocolate chips

Getting Started

1. Preheat the oven according to the biscuit directions
2. Using cooking spray, grease the pie plate
3. With the kitchen shears (or a knife) cut the biscuits in half except for 1 – set the full circle biscuit aside for the center of the sunflower dessert
4. Place the cut biscuits around the outside edge of the pie pan and working your way in lay the biscuits over one another to create a sunflower shape
5. Once all the cut biscuits have been put into the pan, place the remaining full circle biscuit in the center
6. Bake the biscuit sunflower according to the directions on the packaging – we cooked ours for 8 minutes
7. While the sunflower dessert is cooking, mix up the frosting with a few drops of yellow food coloring
8. Once the fsunlower is done baking allow it to completely cool
9. Remove from the pie plate and place on a plate for decorating
10. Add frosting and crystal sugar to your liking to the ‘petals’ of the flower
11. For the center of the sunflower dessert, add frosting and then garnish with mini chocolate chips
