Heart Dumpling Mold — 22 & 37 Cells

A set of two heart-shaped dumpling molds for forming 22 or 37 homemade dumplings at a time. The molds use hexagonal cells and are designed for use with two thin sheets of dough and a rolling pin.

This is a heart-shaped dumpling mold set designed for quickly forming homemade dumplings in larger or smaller batches. It is both a practical kitchen tool and a gift-friendly model for people who enjoy homemade dumplings.

The set includes two versions:

- Large heart-shaped mold with 37 cells
- Small heart-shaped mold with 22 cells

The large mold is suitable for preparing a bigger batch for family meals or gatherings. The smaller version is more compact and convenient for smaller portions or limited workspace.

Both molds are used with two thin sheets of rolled dough. Place the first sheet over the lightly floured mold, add a small amount of prepared filling into each cell, then cover it with the second sheet of dough. Rolling over the surface with a rolling pin helps form and seal the dumpling edges while separating the excess dough.

The heart shape gives the model a warmer and more decorative look, making it suitable as a themed kitchen gift for Valentine’s Day or as a practical gift for someone who enjoys homemade cooking.

This pair of models is part of my retro Eastern Slavic Pelmeni Mold series.

How to use

1. Roll out two thin sheets of dough of approximately the same size.
2. Lightly dust the mold with flour to reduce sticking.
3. Place the first dough sheet over the mold.
4. Gently form shallow pockets above the cells.
5. Add a small amount of prepared filling into each cell.
6. Avoid overfilling and keep the filling inside the dough pockets.
7. Cover the mold with the second dough sheet.
8. Roll across the surface with a rolling pin, gradually increasing pressure.
9. Remove the excess dough.
10. Carefully release the formed dumplings from the mold.

Printer compatibility note

The large model has a footprint of 290.703 × 289.259 mm, so it requires a large-format build plate. Before printing, check your printer’s build volume, exclusion zones, brim or skirt settings, and model scale in your slicer.

The smaller model has a footprint of 250.117 × 249.984 mm and still requires checking the available build area before printing.

Food-contact notice

Before using the model with food, make sure the material, printing equipment, print settings, post-processing method, and finished surface are suitable for food contact.

A standard 3D-printed part should not automatically be considered food-safe. Inspect all food-contact surfaces for strings, burrs, sharp defects, loose particles, support residue, cracks, layer gaps, or areas that cannot be cleaned properly.

Clean the mold thoroughly and let it dry completely before and after every use.
