My Personal Experience

When I first started making keto gummies, I was skeptical. Could something so simple actually taste good? After experimenting with different flavors and sweeteners, I finally nailed a recipe that feels indulgent but keeps me on track with my keto goals. These gummies have become a staple in my fridge. I love making a big batch on Sundays to snack on throughout the week. They’re also my go-to when I want to add a touch of fun to my meals without the guilt of traditional sugary treats.

Required Equipment

• Silicone Molds or Ice Cube Trays: These give your gummies their shape. Silicone molds are my favorite because they pop the gummies out effortlessly.
• Saucepan: You’ll need this to heat the mixture and ensure the gelatin dissolves completely. I recommend using a medium-sized saucepan for better control.
• Whisk: Essential for stirring the mixture to prevent lumps. It ensures the gelatin blends evenly with the liquids and sweetener.
• Measuring Cups and Spoons: Precise measurements are key to achieving the perfect texture and flavor.
• Dropper (Optional): If using small molds, a dropper makes it easy to fill them neatly without spilling.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Gelatin Powder (4 tablespoons): The star ingredient that gives gummies their chewy texture. You can use grass-fed gelatin for added health benefits.
• Water (1 cup): Acts as the base for the gummies. You can replace half of the water with herbal tea or coffee for a fun twist.
• Sugar-Free Sweetener (2–4 tablespoons): Adjust the sweetness to your taste. I prefer erythritol or monk fruit, but stevia works too.
• Flavor Extract (1–2 teaspoons): Choose your favorite flavor—vanilla, fruit, or even mint. For a fruity flavor, you can use sugar-free drink mixes or natural fruit extracts.
• Food Coloring (Optional): Add a pop of color if you like. Make sure to use keto-friendly, natural food dyes.

How to Make Keto Gummies

1. Prepare the Molds: Lightly grease your silicone molds or ice cube trays with a neutral oil to make removing the gummies easier later.
2. Bloom the Gelatin: In a bowl, sprinkle gelatin over ½ cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom. This step ensures a smooth, lump-free texture.
3. Heat the Mixture: In a saucepan, combine the remaining ½ cup of water, sweetener, and flavor extract. Heat on low until the sweetener dissolves completely.
4. Incorporate Gelatin: Gradually whisk the bloomed gelatin into the warm liquid until fully dissolved. Avoid boiling as it can weaken the gelatin’s setting power.
5. Add Food Coloring: If you’re using food coloring, stir it in now. Adjust the color to your preference.
6. Fill the Molds: Use a dropper or spoon to fill your prepared molds. Work quickly as the mixture sets fast.
7. Refrigerate: Place the molds in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until the gummies are firm.
8. Unmold and Enjoy: Gently pop the gummies out of the molds and enjoy your keto-friendly treat!
