    NOTE: To unmold, dip mold in warm water for about 15 seconds. Gently pull gelatin from around edges with moist fingers. Shake gently to loosen. Place moistened serving plate on top of mold. Invert mold and plate; holding mold and plate together, shake slightly to loosen. Gently remove mold and center gelatin on plate.
