Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin Mixture
- 3 tablespoons grass-fed gelatin
- 2 tablespoons powdered monkfruit sweetener
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
- Silicone gummy molds
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together gelatin, powdered monkfruit, fresh lemon juice, and water. Continue whisking to dissolve the gelatin thoroughly and blend all ingredients into a uniform mixture that will thicken.
- Heat the Mixture: Keep heating the mixture gently while whisking until it turns into a warm, pourable thick paste. Avoid boiling to maintain gelatin’s effectiveness.
- Pour into Molds: Transfer the warm mixture into a measuring cup or bowl with a spout for easy pouring. Immediately pour the mixture into silicone gummy molds carefully to avoid spills.
- Chill to Set: Place the filled molds into the refrigerator and chill for about 1 hour, or until the gummy snacks have fully solidified and have a chewy texture.
- Remove and Store: Pop the gummies out of the molds and enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks to keep them fresh and chilled.
Notes
- Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved for the best gummy texture.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the brightest sour flavor.
- Keep the heat low to avoid boiling, which can affect gelatin’s setting ability.
- Store gummies refrigerated to maintain firmness and freshness.
- You can adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of monkfruit powder to taste.
