    Jello Eggs For Easter Dinner 

    If you're looking for a fun and yummy Easter side dish, try making Jello Eggs!

    Even if you're not a huge Jello fan, Jello is a fun food for holidays! We don't eat Jello on a regular basis, but when it comes to holidays, my children love Jello recipes.

    Favorite Holiday Jello Recipes:

    • Colorful Rainbow Jello (with step-by-step tutorial)- always served at Thanksgiving and Christmas, but fun for Easter too!
    • Jello Popcorn 
    • And Jello Eggs!

    Jello Eggs are just fun. There isn't any other way to put it. They are a perfect side dish for Easter dinner or a festive treat for your Easter picnic.

    They are rather simple to make. I'm going to show you how!

    HOW TO MAKE JELLO EGGS

    Here's what you need to make Easter Jello Eggs:

    • a Jello Egg mold (similar mold can be purchased here).  (This tutorial via Pinterest is a great DIY Easter Egg mold option, but it requires a lot more time and effort. )
    • water
    • 3 oz. boxes of Jello in your favorite flavors
    • sweetened condensed milk, optional

    Jello Easter Egg Molds  

    Unfortunately, Jello egg molds are hard to find since they don't make them anymore. However, there are a few different options. The jello egg mold I have is no longer available. (I got it from the Jello website a few years ago.) However, you can still make these fun Easter jello treats by using this Jello mold:

    HOW TO MAKE EASTER JELLO EGGS: 

    STEP 1: PREPARE THE EASTER EGG MOLDS

    Open the Jello Egg mold, making sure the pieces are connected. Spray with cooking spray. Close tightly, making sure each egg snaps shut.

    make-jello-eggs

    To make it easier to transport and clean, place the egg molds on a cookie sheet.

    jello-eggs

    STEP 2: MIX THE JELLO

    FOR CLEAR COLORED EGGS

    Boil 1 ½ cups water in a glass measuring cup. A few minutes in the microwave will do the trick.

    Carefully pour 6 oz. Jello (one large box) into the boiling water. Be careful so that the hot Jello doesn't overflow.

    Stir until completely dissolved.

    FOR MILKY COLORED JELLO EGGS

    Boil 1 cup water in a glass measuring cup. Stir in gelatin and mix until all the Jello powder is dissolved. Then pour in ½ cup sweetened condensed milk.

    Tip: Boil water in a Pyrex glass measuring cup. Then it is easy to mix and pour directly into the molds.

    STEP 3: POUR INTO MOLDS

    Now you're ready to pour the Jello into the Easter egg molds.

    ONE COLOR EGGS-QUICKEST METHOD

    For eggs one color, fill up the egg mold to the very top. You can do each egg one color.

    MULTI-COLORED/LAYERED EGGS

    You can get really creative by making layered eggs. To do this, fill the egg mold ⅓ to ½ of the way full. Let this layer set for 30 minutes and then add more Jello to make another layer.

    jello-egg-molds

    STEP 4: SET & CHILL

    Jello eggs will take about 3 hours to set completely.

    To open the molds, use a dull knife to seperate the top and bottom molds apart.

    Slowly break the seal until you get the top open. Gently pull the egg from the mold.

    Individually the wrap the Jello eggs in plastic wrap or place in an air-tight container until you are ready to eat.

    Tip: Wrap the jello eggs in plastic wrap and keep refrigerated until you are ready to serve.

    HOW TO SERVE JELLO EGGS

    There are a few different ways you can serve Jello eggs.

    Use them as part of your Easter Table  by placing them on a bed of dyed coconut for the grass affect.

    how-to-make-jello-eggs

    Or serve them in a basket lined with grass for guests to pick their own. (Be sure to keep them wrapped if you use paper grass.)

    Regardless, they are sure to please. Let me know what combinations you like! And how would you serve these Jello Eggs? Do tell!

    Description

    Fun and yummy Easter Jello eggs that everyone loves!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 ½ cups boiling water
    • 6 oz. box Jello or flavored gelatin
    • Jello egg mold
    • sweetened condensed milk, optional (see notes)

    Instructions

    1. Prepare Jello egg molds by spraying the inside with a cooking spray and secure the 2 parts together. Set aside.
    2. Boil water in a glass measuring cup. (Use a 2 cup measuring cup or bigger so the Jello doesn't overflow when you pour it in.)
    3. Once boiling, stir the flavored gelatin into the water. Stir until completely dissolved.
    4. Carefully pour the Jello into the egg molds.
    5. Chill for 3-4 hours, or up to 4-5 days in advance.
    6. To remove the eggs from the mold, carefully use a dull knife to seperate the 2 sides of the mold apart. Slowly pull the top of the mold off, being careful not to break the eggs in half.
    7. Eat immediately or store in an air-tight container up to 4-5 days.

    Notes

    To make milky colored eggs, use 1 cup boiling water per 6 oz. gelatin. After the jello has dissolved in the water completely, stir in ½ cup sweetened condensed milk. Fill the egg molds and let set.

    One large box of Jello (6 oz.) makes 6 eggs.

        It looks like that link no longer sells the Jello molds. You may have to search the Jello site or Amazon for them.

      I have the molds but eggs break in half when I try to get them out and I have greased the molds well. Any suggestions?
