AuthoradminLooking for a fun edible craft to make with your kids this weekend? With a little bit of patience (each layer has to set) you can make these Rainbow Jell-O Easter Eggs! The patience thing is always hard for me, I'm a quick results kind of gal...this project is totally worth it though and the bonus is you all get to eat these beautiful eggs.
Pierce the bottoms of each plastic Easter egg with a scissor. Adults should do this part. Make the hole big enough to use the syringe.
Prepare Jell-O flavors, each in separate bowls. Use only 1/2 cup of boiling water per flavor to dissolve the gelatin.
Generously oil the inside of each egg. This will help Jell-O egg removal.
If your plastic eggs have holes on the tops you will need to add 1 teaspoon of oil to each compartment of the egg carton, Place this in the fridge for 5 minutes. This will make it so the Jell-O does not leak out.
Place the eggs, top side down into the egg carton.
Fill a syringe with some Jell-O and start filling the eggs with a thin layer. Place in the fridge for 20 minutes or until the layer is set. Continue this process until the eggs are filled.
You can add a little bit of sour cream or yogurt to the Jell-O as you go to make the color lighter and opaque. Feel free to experiment!
To remove Jell-O eggs from the plastic shell, run them under some warm water. This will help loosed them from the edges.
