I saw this recipe on A Couple of Cooks and thought that it would be perfect for Easter. I only altered it slightly, swapping cane sugar for maple syrup to make it more appropriate for an Easter treat! It is an easy, yummy, pretty, gluten-free, mostly-healthy dessert that everyone will love. I tried my best at decorating it with some whipping cream, chocolate chips and pretzels. Enjoy!

Serves: 10 pieces
Ingredients
- For the oatmeal cookie crust:
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons cold salted butter
- 2 tablespoon cold water

- Pour the filling into the crust and freeze at least 4 hours. Remove from the freezer and if desired, decorate the top with sliced berries. Let stand for about 10 minutes before serving cutting into pieces and serving. Store in freezer wrapped in plastic.
