Vanilla bean offers a natural flavor.

Prepare the eggs by gently cracking the tops and emptying the contents into a bowl.

Rinse the empty eggshells and let them dry completely.

Mix flour, water, sugar, and salt in a bowl until smooth.

Add vanilla extract and baking powder to the mixture and stir until combined.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until hot.

Dip the eggshells into the batter to coat evenly.

Carefully place the coated eggshells into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove the fried eggshells and drain on paper towels.

Allow to cool completely before decorating.

Fill each eggshell with candies, sprinkles, and coconut flakes.

Seal the tops with a thin layer of batter or frosting.

Optionally, add food coloring to the outside for festive decoration.

Store in a cool place until ready to use for celebrations.
