An alternative to shaving cream eggs, whipped tie dye eggs are a simple yet fun way to dye eggs for your kiddos. The process is less messy than old-fashioned egg dying, and you don’t have to worry if you accidentally lick your fingers during the egg-dying process!

How to Make Whipped Tie Dye Eggs

Ingredients

• 12 hard-boiled eggs
• 2 cups of vinegar
• 8 ounces of whipped cream
• Gel food coloring
• Large bowl
• Muffin tin
• Spoon

Instructions

1. Place the eggs in the bowl, pour the vinegar over the eggs, and soak for at least five minutes.
2. Dry the eggs with a paper towel or a soft cloth and set aside to dry thoroughly.
3. Fill the wells of a standard muffin tin with whipped cream and add several drops of different colored food coloring to the whipped cream.
4. Use a spoon to swirl the food coloring into the whipped cream, creating a tie dye pattern.
5. Add one egg to each well and roll the egg in the whipped cream to fully coat. Allow the egg to sit in the whipped cream for ten minutes.
6. Remove the egg from the whipped cream and wipe it clean with a paper towel. Alternatively, you can rinse under cold water and pat dry.
