Equipment

1 Small pot
Set of Gummy Molds See post for links to the ones I used,
Dropper

Ingredients

1 cup Cold Water
⅔ cup Sweetener I used granulated allulose
4 scoops Collagen Peptides
⅓ cup Unflavored Gelatin
Lime Green Gel food colouring
2 teaspoon Lorann Green Apple Flavor Oil
3 teaspoon Citric Acid

Instructions

In a small pot, whisk together the sweetener, collagen, and gelatin. Be sure to FULLY combine it, or you’ll end up with lumps.
Add water, whisk to combine. Use food coloring to tint the mixture to your desired level of lime green.
Heat over medium heat, until everything is smooth and dissolved. Remove from heat.
Add flavour oil and citric acid, stir well to dissolve.
At this point, I like to transfer the gummy mixture to a glass measuring cup, to keep track of how much mixture I have left.
Use a dropper to fill the gummy mold cavities with the gelatin mixture to JUST under full - you want to leave a mm or two for the marshmallow.
Be sure to reserve ½ cup or so of the gelatin, in a microwave safe vessel. (See notes, below)
Allow filled molds to sit at room temperature until partially set - 30 minutes should do it.
Reheat your remaining liquid until melted and quite hot, but not boiling. I do this in 20 second increments, to avoid burning it.
Using a stick blender / immersion blender, whip the hot gelatin mixture until it's pretty opaque, like a marshmallow.
Quickly transfer into a disposable pastry bag.
Snip a very small tip off the end of the pastry bag, and pipe the mixture onto each of the gummies, slightly mounding it over the edge of the mold
Transfer gummies to the fridge, allow to fully set.
Once set, pop the sugar free gummy candies out of the molds, and transfer to an airtight container, like a ziplock baggie.
Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

The amount of mixture you will need to set aside will vary wildly based on a bunch of factors - the surface area of each mold, how much space you left on each, high much volume you can whip it to, etc.

Don't be surprised if you end up with either not enough foamy gummy to cover all of the gummies you've piped, OR end up with extra whipped mixture, after having filled all of them.

All-plain- or all-marshmallow - gummy frogs taste just as good!

The carbohydrates from this recipe are entirely from the sugar alcohols in the sweetener - it's a 0 net carb treat!
