Note: I have seen a lot of people complain that they did not get the results that I did or that their color completely wiped off. Follow these tricks and tips below and you shouldn't have any problems
What you need:
White distilled vinegar
12 large eggs
Food coloring
2 containers of Cool Whip
Disposable pan
Paper towels
Toothpicks
Disposable gloves
I made my hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot and they came out perfect. I used Skinny Taste's recipe and they were cooked perfectly, though 3 cracked.
Do it:
1. Soak your eggs in a bowl filled with the distilled white vinegar for 20 minutes.
2. While your eggs soak, put your Cool Whip into the disposable container. Side note: I get my disposable aluminum pans at Costco. You get about 30 pans for $6. Total steal and they are good quality.
3. Using the food coloring of your choice, add several drops to one side of your pan. Then you can add a second color in if you desire. Repeat this for the other side using other colors.
This isn't enough food coloring, but I just kept adding more after I swirled it until I was satisfied.
4. Using a toothpick or knife, swirl your food coloring in. Make sure it gets swirled in deep into the Cool Whip.
5. Put on your gloves. Take out an egg and pat it dry using a paper towel. Then put your egg in the Cool Whip mixture. Make sure you turn it a couple times allowing the Cool Whip to cover your egg. Leave the egg in the mixture. Let the eggs set for 20 minutes.
6. Rinse off your gloves or get a new pair. Fill a bowl with water and take an egg out of the mixture. Gently place it in the bowl, rolling it around to get off all the Cool Whip. Do NOT run the egg under water. I would do a few eggs and then change the water out.
7. Take the egg out of the water and pat dry with a paper towel.
8. Store in your egg carton.
We've done this technique too; we let our eggs sit with the cool whip/dye on them for a good hour and then just wiped them off with a paper towel and we had nice vibrant eggs too.
ReplyDeleteI love this version so much. Way less messy than having the kids drop the eggs into dye.
DeleteWhat a great DIY - if we didn't have an egg shortage I would 100% be doing this with Sophia! xo, Biana BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteThat is our problem too. We can't find eggs anywhere and when we do, we get them to eat.
DeleteI love when you share this because it is so Flippin awesome! I think my college boys might be willing to do it this year, LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh you all should do that together. No one is too old for this!
DeleteOne of my favorite posts each year! We were fortunate enough to find extra eggs that we will use for dying on Saturday. Can't wait <3

We have not found extras yet, so we are holding off. I really hope I can find some.
DeleteI did this with my nieces and Jon's kids last year and they had so much fun! I wish I could do it again, but just with the nieces, lol.
ReplyDeleteHaha. OH I bet. It is so much fun. I am not sure if we will get to do it since we can't find any eggs.
DeleteThis is so awesome! I love how they turned out! Pinning!

Thank you! I hope you enjoy making them!
DeleteThis is such a fun idea! They turned out really well. I bet the cool whip gives the kids a little bit of extra fun!
ReplyDeleteThe kids love it. Plus the dye doesn't get everywhere when they drop the eggs in. I love how easy it is and the kids love pulling the eggs out wearing gloves. It is like a science experiment.
DeleteI need to do it.
ReplyDeleteI am so bummed that every year I forget to do this! Next year is the year, I swear! The eggs turn out so great. :) Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteI failed at this a few years ago haha maybe it's time to share again? Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have some fake eggs from walmart left over from last year that we never got to use. I didn't think about getting cool whip when I placed our last grocery order though. Guess we will be doing it the old fashioned way this year lol. I really need to remember this for next year.
ReplyDeleteOhh, these turned out perfectly! I would have never thought to do this - such a beautiful effect! Thanks for sharing this and happy Easter to you and your family!
