Ingredients
Method
- Remove the stem from the strawberries and slice into 1/4 inch slices lengthwise so that the strawberry slices resemble hearts.
- Prepare the jello according to package directions, typically by dissolving the powder in 1 cup hot water, then adding 1 cup cold water.
- Place one strawberry slice into each heart-shaped mold cup and fill with the jello mixture.
- Refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or until the jello is completely firm, following package directions for setting time.
Notes
- For the cleanest heart shapes from your strawberries, use a very sharp knife and ensure the strawberries are firm, not overly ripe. This prevents mushing.
- If you don't have heart-shaped molds, you can use any small cups or a baking dish and cut out shapes with cookie cutters once the jello is set. For a more professional look, lightly oil your molds before adding the jello mixture to ensure easy release.
- To achieve perfectly set jello, always follow the package instructions closely regarding water temperature and chilling time. Don't rush the setting process; patience ensures a firm, jiggly dessert. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
