Coloring Easter Eggs has never been easier! These Easy Dyed Easter Eggs only use two things, shaving cream or cool whip & 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.
