Ingredients
12hard boiled eggs
vinegaras needed
2-3cupswhipped creamor as needed
liquid food colouringas needed
Instructions
Place the eggs in a bowl filled with vinegar. Let them soak for 2-5 minutes, then remove the eggs and place them on a paper towel to dry.
Fill a small bowl with whipped cream. If making multiple colours, use one bowl per colour.
Add a few drops of liquid food colouring to the whipped cream and use a toothpick to swirl the colours around. Feel free to use multiple colours per bowl to create multi-toned eggs.
Dip each egg in whipped cream, slowly rotating it until its shell is fully covered. (If desired, wear latex or nitrile gloves to prevent the food colouring from staining your fingers.)
Place the eggs on a plate or drying rack. Let them rest undisturbed for 5-10 minutes while they absorb the pigment from the food colouring. Then, use a paper towel to wipe off the whipped cream and reveal the marbled pattern on the eggs!
Notes
Whipped cream can be substituted with thawed frozen whipped topping.
