Print Recipe

A fun and colorful breakfast that turns a regular morning into something sparkly. This easy unicorn toast features a marbled cream cheese spread with vibrant colors, perfect for kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz (113g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 drops each of pink, blue, yellow, and purple gel food coloring
  • 2 slices thick-cut brioche or Texas toast
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon (6g) rainbow sprinkles or jimmies
  • 1 tablespoon (8g) edible glitter or star-shaped sprinkles
  • A few fresh berries (blueberries or raspberries)

Instructions

  1. Make the Cream Cheese Base: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and glossy, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Divide and Color: Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly into 4 small bowls. Add 1-2 drops of pink, blue, yellow, and purple gel food coloring to each bowl. Stir gently until color is fully incorporated.
  3. Toast the Bread: Toast the bread in a toaster or in a skillet with butter over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Apply the Base Layer: Let the toast cool for about 30 seconds. Spread a thin, even layer of plain (uncolored) cream cheese over the entire surface of each toast.
  5. Drop the Colors: Using a small spoon, drop small dollops of each colored cream cheese randomly across the surface of the toast, about 4-5 dollops per color per slice.
  6. Swirl It All Together: Take a toothpick or small skewer and gently drag it through the dollops in a zigzag or circular motion to create a marbled, tie-dye effect. Stop as soon as you see the pattern you like.
  7. Add the Toppings: While the cream cheese is still soft, sprinkle rainbow sprinkles and edible glitter over the top. Press gently with your fingers. Arrange fresh berries on top or on the side.
  8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the toast right away while the bread is crispy and the cream cheese is cool and creamy.

Notes

Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture. Gel food coloring is recommended for vibrant colors without altering taste. Avoid over-swirling to prevent colors from turning muddy. Serve immediately for best texture.
