Jello Easter Eggs are a fun and colorful treat, perfect for adding a festive touch to your Easter celebrations. These gelatin-based eggs can be customized with various flavors and colors, making them a delightful addition to any Easter spread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (6 oz.) package of JELL-O Gelatin, any flavor
  • 1½ cups boiling water

 

  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  • Prepare the Egg Molds:

    • If using a JELL-O Egg Mold, spray the insides of both halves and along the rims with cooking spray. Close the mold securely, ensuring each egg cavity is firmly sealed. Place the mold fill-side up on a tray.

    • If using plastic Easter eggs as molds, ensure there’s a hole large enough for filling on one end. Lightly coat the insides with cooking spray to facilitate easy removal.

  • Prepare the Gelatin Mixture:

    • In a large bowl, add 1½ cups of boiling water to the gelatin powder. Stir for about 3 minutes until completely dissolved.
  • Fill the Molds:

    • Using a measuring cup with a pour spout or a food-safe syringe, carefully pour the gelatin mixture into each egg mold through the fill-holes until each is filled just to the top of the egg shape.
  • Chill the Gelatin:

    • Refrigerate the filled molds for at least 3 hours or until the gelatin is firm.

 

  • Unmold the Jello Eggs:

    • To release the eggs, gently pry open the mold using a dull, flat knife between the halves of each egg. If using plastic Easter eggs, run each egg under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the gelatin before carefully opening the mold.

Notes

  • For a creative twist, consider making layered Jello eggs by adding different colored gelatin layers. Allow each layer to set slightly before adding the next.

  • If you don’t have specialized egg molds, you can create your own using cleaned eggshells or plastic Easter eggs. Ensure they are properly sanitized and prepared before use.

 

  • To prevent sticking, applying a thin layer of cooking spray inside the molds is recommended.
