Here’s What You’ll Need to Dye Easter Eggs with Whipped Cream…

yield – 1 dozen or more Easter Eggs

(This will fill a 6 cup muffin tin)

• White Vinegar (about 32 oz.)
• 1 Large bowl
• 8 oz. tub of frozen whipped cream – thawed
• Food coloring – I used gel food coloring. I think it helps control the amount a little better than the liquid. One or two drops per muffin cup should do. 
• Spoon
• Toothpicks – 1 per muffin cup
• *optional disposable gloves
• 1 dozen hard boiled eggs
• paper towels
• sink

Instructions on how to dye Easter Eggs with whipped cream…

• soak the hard-boiled eggs in vinegar while you prepare the dye

• grab your muffin tins and add a heaping spoonful of whipped cream to each cavity – 1 8 oz. tub of whipped cream should fill 1 (6 cups) muffin tin

• Choose one or more colors of your food coloring for each whipped cream mound and squirt a tiny amount onto the top
• Use a toothpick to swirl or go back and forth over the colors – slightly blending them

• dry the eggs with a paper towel

• put your gloves on if you want to keep your hands free of dye
• choose one of your colored whipped cream cups and push the egg into the colorful whipped cream
• turn the egg so all of it has been covered with a mixture of whipped cream and color

• set your swirled eggs onto a platter or a sheet of wax paper
• let them soak up the color for at least 15 minutes – the longer the better
• Repeat with the rest of your eggs
• *you can use the same muffin cavity more than once. You’ll find that you’ll end up with a different design each time you swirl your eggs in the same muffin cup of colored whipped cream

• when you are ready to – go over to the sink and rinse your eggs to see your beautiful design

• Place them on a piece of paper towel to dry

That’s it! ~ Happy Easter!
