🌈 Jell-O Easter Eggs 🥚
Ingredients :
For the Jell-O Layers:
4 boxes (3 oz each) Jell-O in assorted flavors (e.g., strawberry, blue raspberry, lime, orange)
4 cups boiling water (1 cup per Jell-O box)
1 cup cold water (¼ cup per Jell-O box)
For the Cloud Layers:
1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
4 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Surprise Centers (Optional):
12-16 small gummy bears, jelly beans, or mini marshmallows
For the Molds:
2 teaspoons coconut oil (for greasing molds)
Instructions:
Prepare the Molds:
Lightly grease the inside of each plastic egg mold with coconut oil using a paper towel. This will help the Jell-O release easily later.
If your molds have holes on both ends, place a small spoonful of Jell-O (about 1 teaspoon) in the bottom of an egg tray and set the mold on top. Refrigerate for 5-10 minutes to seal the hole.
Make the Jell-O Layers:
For each Jell-O flavor, dissolve one box of Jell-O in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then add ¼ cup of cold water.
Using a plastic syringe or small measuring cup, fill each egg mold about ¼ full with the first Jell-O color. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to set.
Create the Cloud Layers:
In a medium bowl, combine the whipped topping, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fluffy.
Once the first Jell-O layer is set, add a small spoonful of the cloud mixture to each mold. If using, place a gummy bear, jelly bean, or mini marshmallow in the center as a surprise. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
Add the Remaining Layers:
Repeat the process with the remaining Jell-O colors, alternating with the cloud mixture. Allow each layer to set before adding the next.
Finish with a final layer of Jell-O to seal the eggs.
Chill and Unmold:
Refrigerate the eggs for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to fully set.
To unmold, briefly run each egg under warm water for 3-4 seconds. Gently squeeze the mold to release the Jell-O egg.
Serve and Enjoy:
Arrange the Rainbow Cloud Jell-O Eggs on a platter and watch as everyone discovers the surprise inside!
