Rainbow Ribbon Jello Eggs

Spring is in the air and the Girls Team is ready for sunshine and sweet treats! This week, we made Rainbow Ribbon Jello Eggs. 


To make the jello eggs, we needed egg molds, a syringe, multiple flavors of jello and vanilla yogurt. After searching high and low for the egg molds and almost giving up the hunt, my mom discovered that a close friend owned two molds which we were able to borrow. 

For each color, we needed two layers of jello - one regular layer and one creamy layer made of jello mixed with vanilla yogurt. We chose 5 colors, for 10 layers. 

Here's our step-by-step guide to making rainbow ribbon jello eggs:

Step 1: Coat egg molds with non-stick spray to make removing the eggs easier later on. Boil water and add 1 and 1/4 cup water to jello powder.

Step 2:  Fill a clean, new syringe full of the liquid jello. Squirt half of the syringe amount into each egg.

Step 3: Place the egg molds and unused jello mix into the fridge. After 5 minutes, or when the jello mixture has the consistency of egg yolk, remove from fridge and add 3 Tablespoons of vanilla yogurt. After 20 minutes, take the egg molds out of the fridge, and add half a syringe of the yogurt/jello mix. Repeat steps 1 - 3 for each jello color. 

Step 4: After filling the egg molds to the top, refrigerate overnight. 

The next day, we removed the eggs from the mold. Using a knife, pry the mold open gently. 

Slowly open the mold, as you can see, one of our eggs already split in half. Loosely close the mold, flip over, and loosen the eggs from the other side of the mold.

More of our eggs cracked in half or along layer lines as we tried to pop them out of the mold. Here are our most photogenic eggs: 

Because this recipe makes so much jello, after filling the molds, we added each layer of jello into mason jars. 

The Rainbow Ribbon Jello Eggs are a really simple, fun dessert. However, the jello egg layering is VERY time consuming. By the time the jello layers were the complete, the Girls Team was exhausted. We started the jello eggs around 7 p.m. and finished just before midnight. 

The jello eggs are very tasty! Sweet and creamy, with an Easter flare :) Next time, we will use less colors because with less jello layers, the eggs may not be as susceptible to splitting. But, both Girls Team members agreed that these eggs are a better project for a lazy Sunday. 

We hope everyone has a nice Easter weekend! We'll celebrate by munching on our jello eggs for dessert :)
