Dinosaur Eggs

By: Robin Werner

"The mold I'd used to make Jell-O treats at Easter inspired me to include these unusual fun green 'dinosaur eggs' on the party lunch menu. Instant pudding and cinnamon give the eggs a creamy look with speckles. --Robin Werner, Brush Prairie, Washington"

Original Recipe Yield 12 servings

Ingredients

2 (6 ounce) packages lime gelatin
2 1/2 cups boiling water
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup cold milk
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Stir in cinnamon. In a large measuring cup with a spout, beat milk and pudding mix until blended, about 1 minute. Quickly whisk into gelatin until smooth. Pour into a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm. Cut into ovals or use an egg-shaped cookie cutter.

Footnotes

Editor's Note: For eggs like those shown in the photo, use a Jell-O Jigglers egg mold and the following directions. Coat the inside and rim of each egg mold with nonstick cooking spray. Securely close each egg old. Place mold, fill side up, on a tray. After whisking pudding mixture into gelatin, immediately pour it into the mold through fill holes just to the top of the egg shape. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm. To unmold eggs, slide a dull flat knife between eggs. Gently pry between each egg (do not pull on the handle). Turn mold over and shake gently to remove eggs. This recipe will make 12 eggs.
