Infused Gummy Bears (Low-Carb)
These relaxing, flavorful low-carb infused gummy bears are the ultimate guilt-free treat. Made with keto-friendly ingredients for soothing bites of bliss! (Less than 1g Carb Each for 50 Gummies)
Equipment
- Silicone gummy molds (any fun shapes encouraged!)
- Medium saucepan
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk
- Dropper or squeeze bottle (precision is key!)
Ingredients
- ½ cup sugar-free syrup like Lakanto or ChocZero
- 3 tablespoons powdered allulose or preferred keto-friendly powdered sweetener
- ¼ cup water
- 1½ teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
- ½ teaspoon citric acid
- ½ teaspoon natural food coloring optional, for those vibrant vibes!
- ½ teaspoon flavoring extract your fave choice, like lemon, orange, or berry!
- 1 mL Infusion extract adjust based on desired strength per gummy (you know what I mean, right?)
Instructions
- Prep Your Molds: Lightly spray your silicone molds with a tiny bit of neutral oil if they tend to stick. Place them on a flat baking sheet for easy handling later (because you’re smart like that).
- Make the Base: Combine sugar-free syrup, powdered allulose, and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently until the sweetener dissolves and the mixture starts to look like liquid glass.
- Thicken the Mix: Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin into the saucepan while whisking to avoid lumps. Continue stirring for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens into a silky, smooth texture.
- Add the Flavors and Colors: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in citric acid, natural food coloring (if using), and your chosen flavor extract. This is where the gummy magic gets personal!
- Infuse it Up: Carefully add your "infused" extract, adjusting to your preferred dose (start small if you’re new, friend). Stir until the extract is evenly incorporated, ensuring calm vibes in every gummy.
- Pour into Molds: Use a dropper or squeeze bottle to fill your molds with the gummy mixture. Work quickly here, as the mixture will begin to set. Don’t overthink it, you’ve got this!
- Chill & Set: Place the filled molds in the fridge to set for at least 30 minutes, or until the gummies are firm to the touch. Patience is your best ingredient here!
- Pop & Store: Gently pop the gummies out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks. Though, let's be honest, they’ll be gone way sooner!
Notes
- Pro Tip: If you want a sour twist, dust the gummies with a mix of citric acid and powdered erythritol after popping them out of the molds.
- Choose bold flavor combinations like raspberry and lemon for tangy vibes, or orange and vanilla for creamsicle nostalgia.
- If the mixture sets too quickly while you’re pouring, gently reheat over low heat to loosen it up.
