If you are making your own Easter eggs, here is the most basic way of how to do that, plus a few ideas on how to really make them unique, and all your own. 

Cream Filled Easter Eggs

These are the easiest Easter eggs that you can do at home, not to mention the most delicious too. 250 ml unsalted butter, softened, 5 ml of saline, 15 ml vanilla extract 1 can sweetened uncondensed milk is necessary for their making.5 kg powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting the eggs, yellow gel food coloring and 1 kg chocolate melts needed preparation. 

Now to prepare you wish to combine butter, salt and vanilla, and then use an electric mixer at medium and beat this mixture until it is light and airy. This should take about two minutes, then add condensed milk and beat, making sure to scrape the bowl when you need so that there is no powdery residue left on the sides or bottom of the bowl. 

Then you want to add in the powdered sugar, continue mixing until dough becomes tough and you want to transfer this mixture to a plate that has a fair bit of flour on the surface so that the dough will not stick to the kitchen table. Add a few drops of food coloring per your taste and after rolling it into ovals, if you want and cool them in the refrigerator. 

So when they're done, you can dip them in all kinds of dip, as you want, like chocolate or peanut butter and you can decorate these Easter eggs as you like.
