Pink Peppermint Valentine Mold

Ingredients:

1 package (1/4 ounce size) unflavored gelatine

1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided

1/8 teaspoon salt

2 eggs, separated

1 1/4 cup milk

1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

3 drops red food coloring

1 cup whipping cream, whipped

Directions:

In a medium saucepan (off the stove), combine gelatine, 1/4 cup sugar and salt; mix

well and reserve.

In a medium bowl, beat together egg yolks and milk; add to gelatine mixture. Cook

gelatine and egg mixture in saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the

gelatine dissolves and mixture thickens slightly - about 5 minutes. Remove from

heat and add peppermint extract. Add food coloring and mix. Chill in refrigerator

until mixture is slightly thicker than the consistency of unbeaten egg whites.

In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Gradually add remaining

sugar and beat until very stiff, then fold into gelatine mixture; fold in whipped

cream. Turn into a 5-cup heart-shaped mold; chill until firm.
