What You'll Need
Ingredients:
1 stick of unsalted butter
4 cups of confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons of milk
Food coloring
Plastic Easter egg molds
Instructions:
1. Begin by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and smooth.
3. If the mixture is too thick, add in 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach a smooth and workable consistency.

5. Use your hands to press the buttercream mixture into the plastic Easter egg molds, making sure to cover all sides evenly. Place in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set.
6. Once the buttercream has set, carefully remove the eggs from the molds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Let the eggs sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to slightly soften the edges.
8. Using a butter knife, gently scrape off any excess buttercream around the edges to create a smooth and clean egg shape.
9. Decorate your eggs with any additional toppings or decorations you desire, such as sprinkles or icing.
10. Place the eggs back in the freezer for an additional 10-15 minutes to set the decorations.
11. Once fully set, your buttercream Easter eggs are ready to be enjoyed!
