Ingredients

Scale

Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing silicone heart mold
2 3-ounce (85-gram) packages pink or red Jello, such as raspberry, cherry, or strawberry
2 .25-ounce packages unflavored gelatin, or 14 grams powdered gelatin

In a small microwave-safe bowl, whisk together Jello powder, unflavored gelatin, and cold water. Continue whisking until powder dissolves.

Allow mixture to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, then microwave on medium-high power for 60 seconds. Whisk with a small silicone whisk, then microwave 30 seconds more.

Refrigerate 30 minutes, or until firm. (If Jello mixture begins to thicken in the bowl, reheat in microwave in 20-second increments as needed.)

Pop hearts from silicone mold onto a sheet of wax paper or parchment, or a silicone baking mat.
