Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sugar free jello see notes
- 1 tablespoon unflavoured gelatine see notes
- ½ cup hot water (120ml)
- ¼ - ½ tsp citric acid optional - see notes
Instructions
- Place 3 silicone gummy bear moulds on a tray. It's easier to transfer the molds to the fridge this way!
- Set aside to use in a minute.
- Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan.
- Warm over a gentle heat, stirring continuously, until the gelatine has thoroughly melted.
- This should take no longer than a couple of minutes
- You can check to see whether the gelatine has melted by using a spoon to drizzle some of the liquid down the inside of the pan. If it is still grainy bits or there are still crystals carry on stirring!
- Once your mixture is done remove it from the heat.
- Using the pipette squirt the mixture into the silicone molds.
- Give the molds a very gentle shake to bring any air bubble to the top.
- Place the tray of molds in the fridge.
- Leave for at least 2 hours to set.
- Check to see that the Gummy Bears have set by removing one from the mold.
- Once you are happy they they are fully set, you can remove the trays from the fridge and start popping the gummy bears out of the mold.
- Enjoy
Notes
I always use ¼ tsp of citric acid in this recipe as it reduces the artificial sweetener 'after taste' that aspartame can sometimes leave.
However, using citric acid is optional and the gummies taste just fine without it!
If you like sour gummies you can even add a further ¼ teaspoon of citric acid to give them a bit of a kick.
Please note!
Most people in the US will use Jell-o flavored gelatine and Knox unflavored gelatine. I would therefore suggest the following. Jell-o flavoured gelatin The .3oz (8.5g) box of Jell-o suffices for this recipe. It works out at just under 1 tablespoon of powder. Knox Unflavored Gelatine Knox unflavoured gelatine tends to come in a box of 4 envelopes. Each envelope contains approx 7g of gelatine. I would suggest using 2 sachets (so approx 14g) for this recipe. Two sachets work out at just over one tablespoon of powder. If you are in the UK I would suggest the following. Hartley's jelly crystals Hartley's jelly crystals come in a twin pack. Each sachet contains approx 11g of gelatine crystals which work out at about 1 tablespoon. I would therefore suggest using one sachet for this recipe. Dr Oetker gelatine Dr Oetker unflavoured gelatine comes in 12g sachets. Use one sachet for this recipe.Nutrition
