Equipment

Ingredients

12 boiled eggs
8 drops super black food gel
5 cups water
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon creme fraiche (sub whipped cream cheese or sour cream)
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
10 drops orange food gel
1 teaspoon black sesame seeds

Instructions

Make hardboiled eggs. Cook the eggs by boiling, using an instant pot, or use a steam method.
In a large bowl, mix water and black food color dye. Hold each egg in a small towel and crack with the back of a spoon all over, then place down in the black water. Cover and chill the eggs for at least two hours.
Peel and slice the boiled eggs in half. Instead of scooping out the yolk with a spoon that can tear the egg shell, gently push from the back of the egg to pop the yolk out.
In a medium bowl, add the yolks, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, creme Fraiche' or soft whipped cream cheese.
Mix until well combined with a spatula or hand mixer, add 10 drops of orange gel dye to the mixture, mix well, and load into a large zip lock bag fitted with a large star number one tip. It helps to put the tip in the pastry bag, and use a tall glass to hold it while filling with a spatula.
Fold down the top of the piping bag. Pipe the filling back into the boiled eggshell halves, and garnish with a few black sesame seeds. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve in a deviled egg carrier box or on a plate.

Top Deviled Eggs Tips

Also, you can certainly mix the deviled egg filling with a spoon or whisk, but a hand mixer gives you a creamy fluffy texture that pipes beautifully.
Simply add a bit more mayo or cream cheese to make it creamy and smooth and easier to pipe.
Use a large gallon zip-top bag and large star tip to pipe the filling into the egg-white shells, it looks gorgeous and professional!
Make-Ahead Tip: Boil the eggs, slice them in half, and keep them covered on a tray. Fill your ziptop bag with a piping tip, and assemble in minutes right before your party!
