kcalIngredients
1 cup water
2 tbsp unflavored gelatin (or 4 packets, about 28g)
1 packet (0.3 oz) sugar-free flavored gelatin (like Jell-O)
1-2 tbsp powdered erythritol (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Tools Needed:
Gummy bear molds
A dropper (usually comes with the molds)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, add 1 cup of water and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to bloom (hydrate).
Stir gently and heat over low heat until the gelatin dissolves completely. - Add Flavor
Stir in the sugar-free flavored gelatin and erythritol (if using). Continue stirring over low heat until fully dissolved. Avoid boiling as it may alter the texture.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed. - Fill the Molds
Remove the saucepan from heat. Using the dropper, carefully fill the gummy bear molds with the gelatin mixture. Work quickly as the mixture thickens as it cools.
Place the molds on a baking sheet for stability and transfer to the fridge. - Chill and Set
Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes or until the gummies are firm.
Once set, gently pop the gummies out of the molds.
