Cook Time: -
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 eggs
Ingredients
- 3 boxes of flavored Jello (various colors)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- Egg-shaped molds
- Whipped cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment: 3 different colored Jello boxes, boiling water, cold water, egg-shaped silicone molds, and whipped cream.
- Select your Jello colors to create a rainbow effect - typically red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple work well. Choose three complementary colors for this recipe.
- Prepare your egg-shaped silicone molds by lightly spraying with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal later.
- For each Jello color, separately dissolve one box of Jello by mixing 2/3 cup boiling water with the Jello powder until completely dissolved.
- Add 1/3 cup cold water to each Jello mixture to help it cool and set more quickly.
- Pour the first color Jello into the egg molds, filling each mold about 1/3 full. Refrigerate for 20-25 minutes until the layer is set but not completely firm.
- Repeat the process with the second Jello color, gently pouring over the first layer to create a distinct color separation.
- Continue with the third Jello color, creating the final layer of the rainbow egg.
- Refrigerate the completed molds for at least 2-3 hours or overnight to ensure complete setting.
- To remove, gently press the edges of the silicone mold and carefully pop out each Jello egg.
- Serve chilled, optionally topped with a dollop of whipped cream for added decoration.
Tips
- Choose Your Colors Wisely: For a stunning rainbow effect, select Jello flavors that not only taste great but also look vibrant together. Classic combinations like strawberry (red), orange, and lemon (yellow) work beautifully.
- Prep Your Molds: To ensure your Jello eggs come out easily, lightly spray the silicone molds with non-stick cooking spray before pouring in the Jello mixture.
- Layering Technique: When pouring the Jello layers, do so gently to avoid mixing the colors. Pour slowly and aim for the center of the mold to create distinct layers.
- Patience is Key: Allow each layer to set partially before adding the next. This will help maintain the separation between colors and create that beautiful layered effect.
- Chill Out: For the best results, refrigerate the completed molds for several hours or overnight. The longer they chill, the firmer they will set, making them easier to remove.
- Presentation Matters: Serve your Rainbow Jello Easter Eggs on a colorful platter and consider adding a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra touch of sweetness and flair.
- Get Creative: Don’t hesitate to experiment with different flavors and colors of Jello, or even add fruit pieces between layers for added texture and flavor!
