For a stronger peppermint flavor, you can crush some additional candy canes and sprinkle them on top of the mold before serving. If you don't have a heart-shaped mold, you can use any decorative mold or even a simple bowl. To ensure the gelatin dissolves completely, whisk constantly while heating, and avoid boiling the mixture. The chilling time may vary depending on your refrigerator. Check for firmness before unmolding. This recipe can easily be doubled for a larger mold or to serve more people.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium saucepan, combine gelatin, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Mix well and set aside. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and milk. Add this mixture to the gelatin mixture in the saucepan.
03
StepCook the gelatin and egg mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly. (Approx. 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the peppermint extract.
04
StepAdd the red food coloring and mix until the color is evenly distributed. Chill in the refrigerator until the mixture is slightly thicker than the consistency of unbeaten egg whites. (Chill time: 60-90 minutes)
05
StepIn a separate small bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar and continue beating until very stiff and glossy.
06
StepGently fold the beaten egg whites into the chilled gelatin mixture, being careful not to deflate the whites. Then, gently fold in the whipped cream until just combined.
07
StepPour the mixture into a 5-cup heart-shaped mold. Chill in the refrigerator until firm. (Chill time: at least 3 hours or overnight)
08
StepTo unmold, dip the mold briefly in warm water. Invert onto a serving plate. Garnish with additional whipped cream, if desired. Serve chilled.
