Description
Colorful Easter jello eggs bring festive cheer to holiday celebrations. Gelatin-based treats provide a playful dessert perfect for family gatherings and springtime parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (6 oz / 170 g) JELL-O gelatin, any flavor
- 1.5 cups (360 ml) boiling water
- 1 cooking spray (as needed)
Instructions
- Preparation: Lightly coat egg-shaped molds or clean plastic egg shells with non-stick spray, ensuring easy gelatin release. Select containers with wide openings for seamless filling.
- Gelatin Activation: Boil water and pour over powdered gelatin, whisking vigorously until completely dissolved into a smooth, clear liquid without any granular traces.
- Molding and Chilling: Carefully transfer liquid gelatin into prepared molds using a precision pouring tool, filling each cavity to the brim. Place molds upright in the refrigerator’s coldest section and allow to set completely for approximately three hours.
- Unmolding: After gelatin has solidified, delicately separate mold halves or extract gelatin eggs from plastic shells. Examine each egg for pristine surface quality and intact shape before serving these decorative, vibrant treats.
Notes
- Choose the Right Mold: Select smooth, clean egg-shaped molds or plastic egg shells with wide openings to ensure easy gelatin release and perfect egg shape.
- Whisk Thoroughly: Eliminate gelatin powder granules completely by whisking vigorously when mixing with hot water, creating a smooth, clear liquid for perfect texture.
- Control Pouring Technique: Use a narrow-spouted measuring cup or culinary syringe to fill molds precisely, preventing spills and achieving uniform, professional-looking Easter eggs.
- Chill Strategically: Place molds in the coldest refrigerator section, keeping them upright to maintain structural integrity and allow complete, even setting for flawless gelatin eggs.
