    Coloring Easter Eggs has never been easier! For these Easy Dyed Easter Eggs you only need two ingredients, shaving cream and food coloring!

    Now that Easter is only a few days away, I wanted to share my favorite way to dye eggs! These Easy Dyed Easter Eggs are seriously so simple, and the kids will love helping and seeing the vibrant colors (that's my favorite part too)!

    You can even eat these after dying them if you use the cool whip method. I love using the eggs in this Best Ever Egg Salad or Avocado (no mayo) Egg Salad! So yum!

    How pretty are these Easy Dyed Easter Eggs?!?! All you need is gel food coloring and shaving cream OR cool whip.

    If you are planning to eat these hard boiled eggs, I recommend using cool whip instead of shaving cream. You want to make sure that you aren't accidentally consuming the chemicals from the shaving cream.

    How to make Easy Dyed Easter Eggs:

    I highly recommend using the Instant Pot to make Hard Boiled Eggs. Makes life so much easier! You can also use the AIR FRYER HARD BOILED EGGS method, which is super easy too! 

    • First off, if you use a muffin tin, it makes this REALLY easy! Load up each hole with shaving cream or cool whip. Add a few drops of gel food coloring (I like this one) to each hole.
      • I did 2 colors in each one.
    • Then, using a toothpick, lightly swirl the color around. You don't want to mix it up too much otherwise you won't have a big color contrast on your eggs!
    • Next up, place the hard boiled eggs into each hole and lightly press down!
    • Leave the eggs here for about 10 minutes and then flip them over!

    • Leave the eggs for 10 more minutes on the opposite side.
    • Remove the eggs from the tins, then lightly rinse them off. Set them on a paper towel or kitchen towel to dry.

    Did you try these?!?! Tag me on Instagram @DomesticSuperhero or leave a review below!

    I plan on hiding the eggs for my kids on Easter morning. What will you do with your Easy Dyed Easter Eggs?

      These are so fun! My kids LOVED changing it up and dyeing the eggs using this method! It was so easy and I didn't have to worry about spilling cups full of colored liquid!

        I put some links for the gel food coloring on the post, but you can also find it at Hobby Lobby (at least I have seen it there). You can DEFINITELY use regular, however the colors might not be quite as vibrant. It will still be pretty!

        You can get the gel food coloring at Walmart in the Wilton section. Where they have the cake supplies and pans.

      Gave this a try with my grandkids, and they loved it!! Used whipped cream so licking the spoon and fingers were part of the fun!
      Doing this as an activity for the resident's in our independent living apartments. Thanks for the idea!

      I'd love to try this methid. Excuse my ignorance but do you peel the hard boiled eggs first? In Your pictures, your eggs look very white and uniformed but would assume you keep them coming n their shell to stop little ones eating them?

        Claire, there are no silly questions first of all, and I would have asked this same thing before I knew! You leave the eggs with the shell ON! When you want to eat them (if you use the cool whip method) then you take the shells off 🙂 If you don't like plain hard boiled eggs, you can also use them in a recipe for egg salad! YUM!

      Can whipped cream be used instead of Cool Whip?

        I haven't tried with whipped cream, but I would imagine it would work. Let me know if you try it!

      It definitely works. Did you use Gel food coloring? Did you use shaving cream or cool whip? How long did you let them sit?

      I feel like this was so much easier than dying water/vinegar and using spoons to carefully dip parts of it. This gives you a wonderful marbled color effect that is top tier!

      I can’t wait, we’re having an early Easter (just a week) with our grandkids and I am making Italian Easter Bread with my granddaughters, looks like we will be dying our eggs and using these beautiful creations as the egg decoration on our bread.
