4 Leaving the cracked shell in place, lower 2 eggs into each mug of

food coloring. Put the mugs in the fridge for 7 to 12 hours.

5 Remove the eggs from the mugs and pat dry with a paper towel.

Gently peel the shell from each egg, revealing the spiderweb pattern

underneath. The color will be closer to a deep indigo than a true
black.

6 Cut each egg in half lengthwise and set the yolk halves aside in a
bowl. Set the white halves on a serving plate (or a 9” x 13” sealable

container, if not serving right away).

7 Add the yolks to a medium bowl with all the remaining ingredients

and mash until well combined. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a

large star tip (such as a Wilton 1M tip).

8 Pipe filling into each egg half. If not serving right away, cover tightly

with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Serve upon a midnight dreary!
