I made them yesterday for todays Easter coffee table. Since I have no egg shaped cookie cutter, I cut them by hand with a small knife. They are not all the same, but since I filled them with vegan lemon curd, they really look like little egg halves.

We just had one for breakfast and they are delicious! 💚
